“They really love to mimic that residential experience, so being able to bring the comforts of home to a hospital room provides a level of comfort and familiarity to the patient,” he says.
Customers expect to have a personalized content experience no matter where they travel, and it’s important for hospital systems to recognize this when upgrading displays in their patient rooms.
“Digitalizing the patient room experience is really key as we look toward the future,” Rose says.
The Benefits of Digital Signage for Clinicians
For clinicians and care providers, digital displays can help improve workflows, which Rose says is critical for maximizing clinician productivity.
“Nurses no longer have to manually update a dry erase whiteboard and can manage the patient’s care plan from the nurse’s station,” he says. “Additionally, the integration of electronic health record platforms provides real-time updates on the patient’s care plan, along with a personalized program to enhance their stay.”
The generous size of the displays — which reach up to nearly 100 inches — allows more content to be displayed in one centralized location, from wayfinding information to applications for patient check-in.
“Care plans can change, from medication needs to post-operative care. On a daily basis, that care plan can change,” Rose says. “Being able to dynamically update plans with a digital display in real time is critical for both the patient and the care providers.”
