Noventri recently announced that Meritus Medical Center, a 257-bed community hospital located in Hagerstown, Maryland, has chosen Noventri to upgrade their In-Room Patient Television Channel. In the health care industry, communication with patients is extremely important. How well this is achieved is an important measurement for hospitals, and the patients are the ones that provide the feedback.
Meritus Medical Center set up a new patient televi
sion system to launch with the opening of the newly-relocated hospital in December 2010. The patient information channel was established to improve patient communication and satisfaction. After experience with the PC-based patient television system they had purchased, the hospital continued to search for a solution that was easier to manage and offered higher reliability.
“Along with the move to the new hospital came more responsibilities,” says Jim Slemp – Information Systems. “We naturally needed to find systems that would require less time and complexity to operate. And in the end, we received a better product.”
In each of the patient rooms, Noventri displays information for the patient to see. If a message needs to be communicated to the patients, it is extremely easy to do so with the Noventri Eco-Series digital signage solution.
“Noventri Suite software and the Eco-Series SF-200 players are easy to use and enable us to get the message across,” says Kyle Haught, multi-media specialist for the hospital. “We chose Noventri because of their quality and ability to adapt to our systems. Their tech support is very responsive and helpful.”
