Digital signage within the healthcare facility can improve the patient, visitor and staff experience, according to an article on the Digital Signage Today website.
Placing digital screens which include queue-management information such as estimated waiting times in waiting areas can help lower anxiety, alleviate frustration and reduce the perceived wait time by as much as 35 percent, the article said.
Plus, an interactive wayfinding kiosk can give patients and visitors an enhanced sense of well-being, safety, and security.
Digital signage also can act as an emergency alert system, delivering essential health and safety messages.
