VividBoard’s for Women’s Health Departments Improve Communication and Create a Soothing Atmosphere for Patients
(LEBANON, OH)—VividBoard is pleased to introduce custom whiteboard designs for Women’s Health Departments within hospitals.
The need to increase patient satisfaction and improve communication between staff, patients and families is top of mind for all hospitals and departments and this is especially true for women’s health units. The experience that a woman has while giving birth and the days that follow, directly correlates to her desire to return to the hospital when having additional children or for other medical needs.
“Outdated, blank, dirty whiteboards can leave a bad impression and reduce satisfaction, preventing future hospital stays a facility. VividBoard’s new designs can help improve the hospital’s image and communication resulting in satisfied patients and return visits,” stated Mark Leasure president of VividBoard.
Using a pastel pallet, VividBoard’s Women’s Health patient room boards are designed to be aesthetically pleasing to patients, yet functional and easy to use by the specialized staff. Important information can be captured, easily updated and shared, including:
- Time of last exam
- Plan of care for the day
- Needs for discharge
- Newborn feeding information
- Anesthesia choices
- Pain scales so levels can be viewed at a glance
- Space for staff, families and patients to leave comments or ask questions
- Pre-printed visiting hours, room numbers and phone numbers (such as dietary and NICU) to eliminate the need to rewrite information—ensures patients are well informed of their surroundings and saves valuable time
- Bi-lingual versions to satisfy the needs of all patients
- Branding with the facility’s logo to maintain hospital loyalty and recognition
- Sleek, modern framing to prevent visitors from accidentally marking on walls
- Secure pen coils so that markers don’t disappear
In addition, VividBoard has designed large Nurses’s Station boards to meet the unique needs of Women’s Health Departments. Because admissions and discharges are frequent in these units, VividBoard’s large boards (often referred to as Bed Boards) include a green bar design to make it easy to follow information and quickly obtain the data staff needs to efficiently take care of all patients. This is critically important when trying to keep track of expectant and new mothers in a busy, frequently changing unit.
Features and Benefits of Nurses’ Station Boards include:
- Easily updated as patients are admitted and discharged
- Staff assignments can always be viewed so adjustments can be made for shift changes
- Quickly communicate changes in case priorities
- Customizable columns so that the board contains the specific information a unit needs
- Rows and borders can be any color to match hospital décor
- Segregated section for use by other departments such as lactation and social services
- A brushed aluminum frame and marker tray
All VividBoards for Women’s Health are produced using a patented coating process. Images are sublimated into the board as opposed to silk-screened where the ink is placed on top of the board and writing and dust get caught in the surface of the printing, making the boards appear dirty and scratched. Because there is no raised surface, the boards can be cleaned with any hospital cleaning supplies. Boards are highly resistant to stains, fading and blemishes, maintaining the appearance.
VividBoards are produced using an environmentally friendly process to ensure a hospital’s high green standards are met.
Boards are available in many sizes from 11” X 14” to 4’ X 8’. Custom solutions are also available.
