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and door information cards, increasing the workload of nurses and clinicians, and increasing the risk of errors, or outdated information.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.
The Patient Room Door Sign can connect wirelessly to a hospital or facility’s EHR / EMR system so updates can be pushed in real-time. It can be custom configured to show patient alerts such as visitor restrictions, allergies or medical precautions so clinicians and visitors are aware before entering the room. Clinicians can easily confirm patient care team information.
