FILL OUT PAPERWORK ON WHITEBOARDS
Sometimes the amount of discharge paperwork that has to be filled out before patients can leave the hospital can be overwhelming. However, with in-room patient whiteboards, patients can complete discharge paperwork easily. Plus, having patients fill out their discharge paperwork online saves time and money on printed paper.
ENSURE A CONSISTENT DISCHARGE PROCESS
The risk with discharges is that something is missed and that patients end up back in the hospital due to an oversight. When your healthcare facility decides to integrate digital whiteboards into the discharge process, you will be able to create a consistent discharge process easily, keeping your patients safe.
EDUCATE PATIENTS
During the discharge process it is essential for patients to understand their diagnosis and post discharge care. This education process is traditionally done with big folders stuffed with papers that are given to the patient as leave. At that point, the facility does not know if the patient reviews the provided documents. Now, digital education is more easily digestible to patients and can be distributed more efficiently. Digital education and videos can be played on digital whiteboards or be accessed in the patient's portal.
PUT THE POWER INTO PATIENTS' HANDS
More often than not, patients want to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Thus, healthcare facilities can use this to their advantage by having the patients do a lot of the work for them. They can have them watch educational videos about their diagnosis and medication, as well as hear and/or read their at-home care plan. Plus, you can have them fill out a patient survey right then and there for immediate feedback.
