TalkBeam for Healthcare facilities
TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects patient transport, environmental services, facilities, engineering and security across your campus, so non-clinical teams stop chasing each other by phone and pager.
Please note: TalkBeam is for operations, transport, facilities and security teams. It isn’t certified for patient health information, so don’t use it to share patient details.
CH 01The problem
Operations teams run a hospital’s behind-the-scenes logistics, often on radios that don’t reach the basement and pagers that only go one way.
Transporters and EVS staff get tasks by overhead page, phone and pager, then call back to confirm.
With TalkBeam
Channels for transport and EVS: leads assign by room number, and staff confirm on the channel.
A leak above a corridor or a failed air handler needs engineering right now.
With TalkBeam
Supervisors use priority talk to take the channel, or an all-call to reach every team at once.
Officers cover parking structures, the ED entrance and outlying buildings.
With TalkBeam
Security gets its own channel and SOS with location, and the live map shows officers sharing their location outdoors.
Engineers and techs work alone in penthouses, tunnels and central plants.
With TalkBeam
Lone-worker check-ins and man-down detection alert a supervisor when someone stops answering.
Radios cut out in basements, stairwells and shielded areas.
With TalkBeam
TalkBeam runs over your Wi-Fi and cellular data. Test the dead spots during your trial and fill the gaps in Wi-Fi.
Storms and heat change what facilities and grounds crews should be doing.
With TalkBeam
Automated broadcasts read severe weather warnings for your campus aloud on your channels.
CH 02A day on TalkBeam
A 300-bed hospital’s facilities, EVS and security teams run on TalkBeam Enterprise. Clinical and patient communication stays in the hospital’s approved clinical systems.
Later that week the facilities director searches “OR 4” and has the time-stamped response for the incident report.
Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.
Water dripping from the ceiling tiles outside OR 4, second floor.
Engineering, second-floor OR corridor, possible pipe leak. Closest tech, respond.
Tom, on my way from the central plant.
EVS is sending a wet vac and signs to the OR corridor.
Condensate line. It’s isolated, and the corridor is safe to use.
Tom, please open a work order for a permanent fix.
CH 03What you get
Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.
A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.
Supervisors cut through the chatter mid-sentence, or reach every channel at once with one hold.
Private one-to-one talk for the conversation that shouldn’t go to the whole channel, still kept in company transcripts.
Hold SOS and the channels you choose get an alert with your location. Teammates tap On my way.
People working alone get an “Are you OK?” check-in on your schedule. A missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.
When a phone detects a crash or a fall with no movement and nobody answers “Are you OK?”, supervisors get an alert with the location.
Every transmission becomes text with a time and a name, so anyone can scroll back or search what was said.
People sign in with their Okta, Microsoft or Google work account.
Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.
