Waiting room TV: Modern software for the medical practice

On average, patients spend almost three quarters of an hour in the waiting room before treatment or examination begins. With digital signage displays in practices, clinics and other facilities, you can bridge this time in a useful way.

Use waiting times sensibly: With waiting room TV

While patients are waiting for their treatment, they often reach for the newspapers on display or their own smartphones. They use them to bridge the boredom or anxiety caused by an upcoming treatment. A waiting room TV provides the necessary variety here and helps to shorten the perceived waiting time.

Whether it's the weather report, health tips or information on further treatment options: With a waiting room TV you can inform, point out products and services or simply make the waiting time more pleasant. The moving image is always the focus of interest. Nevertheless, you can flexibly decide which content should be displayed. From photos or videos, advertising films, a TV or news program to websites, everything is possible.

Digital signage devices have long been part of everyday life today and therefore enjoy high acceptance among your visitors. You can find the displays today, for example, as a digital bulletin board in companies or as a hotel display at check-in. Interactive screens and info displays have also been used willingly for a long time. They are ideal for displaying even more comprehensive information on your waiting room TV.

"Next, please!" - Using digital call systems cleverly

A waiting room TV can be used as part of a system for digital admission control or as a kind of video wall. However, the most popular application is to use the waiting room TV as a digital call system in the doctor's office. This way you spare your patients annoying announcements. Thus you create a calmer, more pleasant ambience in your premises.

The combination with digital door signs is particularly useful: Ms. Mustermann is called up via the waiting room TV and sees her name, the treatment room and, if necessary, brief directions. When she arrives at the appropriate room, the digital door sign shows her name so that she can enter safely and confidently.

In this way, you and your staff also always know which patient is currently in which treatment room. This form of digital room management reduces confusion and queries and significantly improves room utilization.
