Patient Education Has Never Been Easier
Posted on Wed, Jun 01, 2011
In today's competitive healthcare environment, where increasing patient satisfaction and staff efficiencies are the benchmarks by which decisions are measured, HCI is poised to change forever
the way hospitals educate patients with their newest on-demand system, MediaCare2.
A More Efficient Way to Educate Patients
Many hospitals provide educational content to patients through the use of education channels that play different content throughout the day on a pre-determined schedule. These schedules seldom meet the time schedule that the patient is avaialble. MediaCare2 provides access to a library of educational videos regarding the patient's specific treatment and care, which caan be viewed on their own schedule.
Increase Staff Efficiency
MediaCare2 reduces the amount of time staff members take to locate TV carts and find DVD videos. MediaCare2 delivers content on demand from the nurses' station.
Hospital staff can control the patient televisions:
- Change channels
- Change volume
- Power TV on/off
- Assign/ push videos
- Send messages
Improve the Patient Experience
With MediaCare2, patients can:
- Watch television
- Browse a library of educational videos on demand
- Watch entertainment movies on demand
- Receive messages from hospital staff
A MediaCare2 system can be installed in a matter of days and has proven to be a very cost-effective system. The only hardware required in a patient room is a HCI Gen II IPTV. Limited network hardware is required outside the patient room.
Hospitals receive remote troubleshooting, support, and training, and reports with every MediaCare2 system.
