New hospital digital signage solutions aim to improve patient experience

August 10, 2016

DigitalSignBuilder.com, a digital signage and wayfinding solutions provider, has announced the immediate availability of new digital signage solutions for hospitals, doctor offices, clinics and waiting rooms, according to a company press release.

"By providing patients immediate access to on-demand information, medical facilities can help pre-solve patient questions before frustrations occur," said Chad Bogan of DigitalSignBuilder. "Another popular feature with hospitals is our digital signage wayfinding. Our Waytouch Premier solution enables for patients and visitors to receive turn by turn directions to any building, office, or hospital wing off or on premise."

DigitalSignBuilder's new hospital facility digital signage packages allow organizations to blend answers to patient questions, policy updates, available services, payment options, insurance information and other relevant notifications into an easily managed system, the release said. Other features of these new packages include:

• keeping staff up-to-date on policies and HR news;
• live training of new protocols and procedures;
• share news of charity drives and health fairs;
• display wait times; and
• entertain viewers with feeds of health facts, tips and advice.

The new Hospital Wayfinding Digital Signage package allows for facilities to provide patients and visitors with Pinch-and-Zoom 3D multi-floor, multi-building maps, according to the release. Every map can be connected to an interactive directory for 1-Click Map It directions. Each directory listing can feature a description, image and phone number of the destination. Other standard digital signage wayfinding features included with the Waytouch Premier include:

• a built-in Smart Pathway algorithm that auto-generates directions based on the shortest path and ease of accessibility;
• a wheelchair-accessible button that automatically creates ADA-compliant routes;
• fly-over route animation that provides virtual walk-through directions;
• Stacked Skeleton multi-floor destination view that supports 360-degree viewing; and
• Eagle View, which provides a 3D view of top-down route directions.
