Healthcare & Hospitals
The drive for digitalization improves workflow efficiency, enhances the accuracy of communications, mitigates risk and upgrades patient experience.
However, some aspects of patient/clinician communication in hospitals still relies on manually updated whiteboards and door information cards, increasing the workload of nurses and clinicians, and increasing the risk of errors, or outdated information.
There is a new solution coming to market in the United States that allows hospitals to bring digital signage into the 21st century, without taking a step back with light pollution: Signs made with E Ink Digital Paper instead of typical TV screen LCD technology. Unlike LCD, screens made with digital paper do not emit light, allowing patients to have uninterrupted sleep.
Now Available: A device loaner program for your hospital to test the Digital Paper system. The number of devices for the program is customized to your installation, and are available for up to six months, depending on your deployment needs. Devices are FREE through this program for the trial period, but there is a charge for software and installation. Learn more here.
