Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) is a leading pediatric healthcare institution recognized for its research, patient care, and specialized medical programs. As a long-standing audiovisual integrator in the greater Boston area, McCann Systems has been integral to more than 100 projects that improve communication, collaboration, and patient experiences. These projects, which include upgrades to conference rooms, patient care areas, treatment spaces, and family waiting areas, have been designed in close collaboration with BCH to enhance operational efficiency and accessibility.
McCann’s work at BCH is centered on delivering tailored AV solutions that meet the unique demands of a healthcare setting. This involves the design and implementation of technology that facilitates medical collaboration, patient education, and clinical workflows. Each project is meticulously crafted with the hospital’s staff and patient experience in mind, ensuring that the AV systems easily integrate into daily operations.
Conference rooms are pivotal in BCH’s fostering research discussions, training, and telemedicine consultations. McCann has enhanced multiple meeting spaces across the hospital, ensuring staff members have access to reliable, high-quality AV systems for unified communication and collaboration. These projects have introduced improved projection, display, and communication technologies, significantly enhancing visibility and engagement in meetings. Smaller discussion areas and huddle rooms have audiovisual solutions that support group meetings and teleconferencing. These upgrades have led to a marked improvement in internal communication, training programs, and real-time medical collaboration, thereby contributing to more efficient healthcare operations.
McCann has played a crucial role in supporting BCH in integrating AV technology into patient care areas, with a focus on significantly improving information accessibility and the treatment experience. Spaces dedicated to neurology and immunology, for instance, required AV systems to support diagnostic imaging and communication between medical teams. Psychiatry areas were enhanced with visual and audio elements to create environments that support mental health treatment. Dialysis spaces require AV solutions designed to assist with patient education and monitoring. These upgrades have not only enhanced workflow and patient engagement but also reassured patients and their families about the quality of care they receive.
McCann has contributed to AV installations in spaces designed for patient and family use, such as entertainment areas, waiting rooms, and lounges. Game rooms now feature interactive displays to provide children with a more engaging hospital experience. Digital signage installations in staff lounges and common areas have improved the way information is shared with employees, patients, and families. Waiting rooms and public spaces have been upgraded with IPTV systems and boast multiple feeds, which provide real-time information and entertainment options. These AV solutions are designed to create a more comfortable environment for patients and visitors while streamlining communication across the hospital.
McCann Systems continues to stand by BCH, providing AV solutions that align with the hospital’s evolving needs. This includes ongoing upgrades to clinical spaces, research facilities, and patient engagement technologies. Future opportunities may involve expanding telemedicine capabilities, enhancing interactive patient education, and further integrating AV systems into surgical and diagnostic environments. McCann’s commitment to BCH extends beyond the initial installations, reflecting a broader goal of enhancing both medical operations and patient experiences.
Beyond its technical contributions, McCann is actively involved in philanthropic initiatives that support BCH’s mission. The company’s commitment to improving healthcare spaces extends beyond installation projects, reflecting a broader goal of enhancing both medical operations and patient experiences. McCann Systems remains a dedicated AV partner for Boston Children’s Hospital, providing expertise in technology integration that supports the hospital’s commitment to excellence in pediatric healthcare.
