VividBoards bring color and communication to hospital patient rooms… Improving room appearance and increasing patient satisfaction
LEBANON, OH, (PRWEB) May 27, 2009—VividBoard, a manufacturer of premium custom-designed, high-impact whiteboards announced today that its hospital patient room solution has helped hospitals throughout the country increase patient satisfaction and improve communication between staff, patients and their families.
“Our previous whiteboard solution wasn’t working,” stated the materials manager at one of the most comprehensive healthcare facilities in Mississippi. “The boards were deteriorating and too small for information to be displayed for patients to easily read. Our new VividBoards are clean, professional and our patients and staff love them. They help us provide valuable information that is important to quality care.”
The VividBoard Patient Room Communication Solution allows hospitals to customize whiteboards with their own graphics and information. The unique requirements of each hospital are neatly displayed in a colorful, precise, clear manner. Room numbers and phone numbers can be pre-printed to eliminate the need for nurses to re-write the information and insure patients are well informed of their surroundings. Each custom dry erase board carries the same look and the professional brand image of the hospital.
The purchasing director at a leading Michigan hospital stated, “Previously we used plain whiteboards. Information was inconsistent and the boards were rarely used. The nursing staff wanted a whiteboard to encompass all aspects of the patient’s day. We looked for a professional solution, with safety features that would enhance communication with the patient and their family, as well as the patient care team. We found that with VividBoard.”
“Our new Patient Experience Boards provide an easy way for our caregivers to track patient progress in a professional and effective manner,” stated a purchasing manager at one of Ohio’s largest healthcare systems.
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. In addition, because there is no raised surface, the boards can be cleaned with any hospital cleaning supplies.
The boards are easily installed using a variety of hanging options to match the needs of the hospital. Mirror hangers, Velcro discs and routed holes are available.
Boards come in a variety of sizes and can be framed or unframed. Magnetic and combination cork options are available to hold paper items that are required to be displayed. Other accessories such as alcohol-based markers, marker trays and hold-ups can also be purchased. Examples can be found at www.vividboard.com/healthcare.
