Denmark's Info-TV network: improving overall patient satisfaction across 20 medical facilities.

Named Info-TV, the network is designed to centralize relevant national, regional, facility and department-level healthcare information on-screen to provide information to patients located in the waiting rooms of the facilities run by the authority. Info-TV is part of a project by Region Hovedstaden to improve overall patient satisfaction during their interactions with the public healthcare system.

Deployed by local Scala system integrator ATEA, the Region Hovedstaden project comprises 520 Scala players, driving a like number of 42- and 55-inch screens split into a dynamic frame and a scroll feed,  the company reports.

"We are managing 500 discrete playlists and channels, no two channels are similar," explained Jacob Simonsen, technical project leader and consultant at Region Hovedstaden. "Using the Scala player and content manager, we can schedule, plan and manage different types of programming and manage this great volume of content in a centralized manner."
