Why Voice Arrest?

Reducing Distractions
Our modular digital technology is the only solution on the market that offers a simple, centrally-located method of sound privacy level adjustment without sacrificing effectiveness. There's nothing to program and no extensive operator training is required. Other systems require extensive balancing and level adjustment at each individual emitter, resulting in higher installation and maintenance costs.

Protecting Sensitive Conversations
The purpose of sound masking hallways, waiting rooms and open areas outside of conference rooms and enclosed offices, is to insure the confidentiality of conversations from within those areas. It prevents people at water coolers, in the hallways or in the common areas from overhearing potentially sensitive information through the open doorways or closed doors of nearby offices.

HIPAA Oral Privacy Regulations
As of April 2003 all healthcare facilities and institutions must demonstrate that they have "reasonably safeguard[ed] protected health information (PHI) -- including oral information -- from any intentional or unintentional use or disclosure that is in violation of the rule, see §164.530(c) (2)" -- the U.S. Office of Civil Rights. HIPAA Privacy Rules require implementation of administrative, technical, and physical means to safeguard protected patient health information, including oral communications. The new oral privacy regulations effect anyone handling (PHI), including hospitals, physician's, counselors, pharmacies, billing agencies and even employers.

CA-SB1 -- GLBA -- PIPEDA -- Oral Privacy Regulations
With the recent and pending enactment of state, national and international laws regarding privacy (including oral) as it pertains to personal information, institutions are faced with the need to significantly increase their levels of speech privacy. With the VoiceArrest Speech Privacy System, it is possible to achieve "normal speech privacy" (AI<0.2) at 12 ft. using only 48 decibels, rather than the typical 51 to 54 decibels required by other sound masking systems. This makes compliance with current and pending oral privacy regulations simple and cost effective.
