Improve communication
At ID Signsystems we embrace the value of “evidence-based design” in everything we do, and believe it is particularly vital in the realm of health care facilities. Evidence-based design simply means that compiled data has been assessed to directly influence development of a product, with an eye toward incorporation of features demonstrating the ability to promote positive and desirable reactions.

In hospitals, medical centers and long-term care facilities, this tool facilitates consistent, standardized, transparent communication among patients, care givers, non-care giving staff, and visitors. Patients truly appreciate having key information organized and available to them at a glance, leading to a marked increase in patient satisfaction scores.4 And with The Joint Commission reporting poor communication as one of the top three causes of sentinel events for the last three years, more regularity and clarity in provision of information can also benefit the health system.

Improve the “view”

Our Communication Board System provides an easy-to-update, primary field for display of critical data (e.g. care givers’ names, treatment or activity schedules, key dates, phone numbers, etc.), but can also enhance the patient room and add to satisfaction with the environment in general. There is clear research indicating that imagery with certain features can calm and soothe, possibly contributing to pain reduction and a state more conducive for healing.2, 3, 6 Adding evidence-based imagery and colors to your ID Signsystems’ customizable Patient Communication Boards can help transform the environment itself into a care tool.

Customize the key information

Multiple languages are supported. Text size and arrangement can be adjusted to help older people see the provided information more easily. Different inserts may be stored one-behind-the-other for easy access when change is needed. The Boards can be further modified to suit the needs of a particular unit within your health care facility. For example, infant feeding schedule, medical diagrams to aid in explanations, physical therapy activities and timing are a few of the items uniquely suited to different specialty units that may be added to the Board. Our designers are ready to work with you to create the final content, branding, and colors for your custom ID Signsystems Patient Communication Board.
