Winola Lake Introduces Digital Signage Engine for Hospitals

Complete Solution for Hospital Digital Signage Improves the Patient Experience

DOYLESTOWN, PA – June 22, 2010 – Committed to improving the patient experience and the quality of healthcare, Winola Lake recently released a Digital Signage offering, through which healthcare institutions can quickly and cost-effectively display critical information to employees and patients.

HIPAA and Joint Commission regulations have long required hospitals and other medical institutions to issue and manage educational documentation in all lobbies. A recent change in policy has approved electronic media for the provision of such information as an acceptable alternative to printed materials.

Winola Lake’s Digital Signage Solution allows patients and employees to read critical educational information as well as hospital updates, maps and directions, and advertising white in waiting rooms and lobbies. In addition to improving the readability and prominence of important information, the offering engages patients while waiting, improving their experience by reducing idle time.

In addition to 32” – 50” LCD displays, the digital signage offering features the Winola Lake Digital Engine, which allows for timely updates to information, and control of displays throughout the hospital from a single point of access.

Primarily aimed at enriching the patient experience, Winola Lake’s Digital Signage Solution proves to have as many quantitative benefits as it does qualitative. Along with better a patient experience comes higher patient retention. Furthermore, posting information digitally eliminates the printing and labor costs associated with producing and updating paper materials.

“Digital Signage is the logical choice for healthcare” says Rick Hodge, president and CEO of Winola Lake. “Without the costs of printing and reprinting information, hospitals will be able to more frequently update educational materials, improving the recency of information, the quality of patient care, and strengthening the bottom line.”
