How to Optimize Meeting Rooms for Hybrid Work in Healthcare

Just as the right conference room technology can support effective meetings, the wrong tools can hinder collaboration — and many conference rooms were equipped prior to the massive shift to hybrid work that started in 2020. While most healthcare roles are currently in-person only, support staff such as IT and even executive leadership may require hybrid collaboration. And on the clinical side, care teams often need to collaborate with offsite specialists, virtual nurses or care team members at different locations.Conference rooms with a big screen and camera at one end are designed for room-to-room meetings. When local attendees talk and look at each other rather than the camera, remote participants may feel excluded.
