Benefits of Digital Signage in Healthcare

Here are a few of the benefits of adding great digital signage in healthcare: 

DIGITAL WAITING TIMES

Visit a hospital with a digital board displaying MySign waiting time and it already removes the anxiety that comes with not knowing how long you may be sitting there, putting the patient back in control. This also frees up areas, as patients can wait in a ‘holding area’, a cafe or onsite restaurant up until minutes before their appointment. This is a much nicer experience than sitting for hours staring at the same wall chart, yet doesn’t require any man-power to organize.

PATIENT ROOM SIGNAGE

Signage within patient rooms helps eradicate the endless boredom of most hospital environments. This could include games, TV channels and film rental, then a dashboard of useful information, updates on the status of the doctor, healthcare tips and more useful information that the patient would be interested to see. Perhaps even a countdown until they get to go home! (You get the idea).

PROVIDING EDUCATION

No one wants to be preached to about their healthcare - especially when they’re already in hospital. But the screens in your MySign digital signage solution could be used to provide useful, entertaining or genuinely educational material of interest to patients and visitors. For example, a short video that takes immobile patients through some of the exercises they can do from their chair or a recap of the choices available to them throughout their care. The screens could even provide reassurance on the number of patients admitted, anesthetics administered and babies born, to reassure patients, make them feel part of a community and reduce stress within the wings.

PROMOTION

One of the methods that makes MySign digital signage solutions more affordable for mass-scale hospital roll out is having an advertising strategy in place (although with MySign cost effect plan you probably don’t need to!). Having said that, providing targeted, relevant ads to patients and visitors can provide mutual benefit to all parties involved can finance other hospital developments or initiatives. According to surveys, 75 percent of those viewing a digital sign in hospital could recall at least one message. Furthermore, MySign digital signage can cut perceived wait time by up to 35 percent which can only be a good thing for patients and staff alike!

COMPLIANCE GUIDES

The minds of nurses and doctors must be filled with information, making retaining knowledge of every compliance procedure or guideline tough work! MySign Digital signage solutions can help them out, providing guidelines at strategic points, within staff rooms and office banks, helping doctors and nurses to stay on top of training while they work.
