How will HCI televisions create an advantage?
HCI televisions impact 3 main areas in the hospital:
- Patients and Visitors - On top of high quality tv display, HCI televisions come with capabilities that include web browsing, full media player access for music, movies, and photos, and on-demand access to their favorite shows. These things create an environment that is unlike any they have previously felt in a hospital; one that makes them feel close to the outside world.
- Staff Efficiency - In any economic climate, especially this one, increasing efficiency and cutting costs in not only desirable, it is essential. HCI televisions are your transition into the next generation of hospital-grade televisions. These televisions operate on a thin client network and allow for control to be centralized to one nursing station. By centralizing the control, your staff will be able to control content, sound, information, alerts, and even communicate with patients, all from their desk. This eliminates the need for the non-clinical tasks such as delivering movies or turning the volume down on the patient TV. Both time and money can be saved by putting your televisions on a thin client network and centralizing the control; all of which HCI is well equipped to do.
- Your Hospital HCAHPS Score - HCAHPS scores are becoming increasingly important to your hospitals ranking and everything that can be done to improve these scores, needs to be. While a television can't be the sole reason for great HCAHPS scores, they CAN provide improvement in several areas on the survey including communication between patients and nurses, communication between doctors and patients, and frequency of help patients receive from the staff.
