Leading Michigan Hospital with multiple locations uses VividBoards to improve patient communication.
Situation:
Like many hospitals, this hospital was using standard, white, dry-erase boards in each patient room. Information was inconsistent and the whiteboards were not always used. The nursing staff wanted a white board to encompass all aspects of the patient’s day. The hospital was looking for a professional solution, with safety features that would enhance communication with the patient and their family, as well as the patient care team.
Solution:
The executive nursing staff custom designed new patient room whiteboards to have spaces for all the necessary information. The boards are graphically appealing and each carries the same look and professional brand image of the hospital. Room numbers and phone numbers were pre-printed on the boards to insure personalized accurate information is always available to the patient. Writing, graphics and logos embedded into the dry-erase board make it visually appealing, long lasting and easy to clean.
Key Benefits:
- Information and branding is consistent
- Lasts longer than traditional dry-erase boards
- Managers can quickly check to see if staff is updating information
- Improved patient satisfaction with piece of mind knowing what is planned for them today.
- During shift changes, the nurses know what the patient’s special needs may be and what has taken place that day.
- Individualized with each room number and phone number permanently on each board.
- Professional quality pre-printed whiteboards
