Why Hospitals and Doctors Still Use Pagers

We know that healthcare technology advances every year, yet hospitals and doctors still use pagers to communicate. When it comes to instant communications on a no-nonsense device, it’s clear to the team at Radio Communications of Virginia (RCV) that pagers can’t be beat. Why is that?

Let’s discuss the reasons why hospitals and doctors in Richmond, Tidewater, and Southside, VA, still use pagers, and how you can secure the communications technologies your hospital needs.
