Short answer
A radio solution for hospitals must support security, technology, logistics, facility management, parking, and emergency processes. Important aspects include discreet operation, hygiene, clear groups, building radio in basements, underground garages, and technical rooms, alerting processes, battery management, and low-interference integration into existing systems. Standard device packages are rarely sufficient.
Hospitals are complex buildings with critical processes. Communication must not unnecessarily disturb the patient environment or operations.

What needs to be planned
Hospitals require careful radio measurement, as basements, elevators, technical rooms, and fire protection sections strongly influence coverage. Equally important are accessories, quiet/discreet use, and clear emergency groups.
Typical errors
Often only visible areas are tested. However, critical areas include underground garages, technical rooms, escape routes, patient wards, new buildings, and transitions between different parts of the building.
