Eye-Catching Hospital Whiteboards Improve Room Appearance Increase Patient Satisfaction

When a large Mississippi health care facility realized that their traditional, blank whiteboards were not serving their intended purpose, hospital administrators knew they needed to make a change. The boards were much too small to display all of the necessary patient information and could not be clearly seen by the patients from their beds. Hospital staff was having a difficult time maintaining consistent, concise information on each board, since they appeared dirty due to ghosting and dust. Doctors and nurses spent a significant amount of time determining what information needed to be captured on each board, since they were blank and had no criteria pre-printed on them. There was also a general lack of branding, as the boards did not display the hospital’s logo or color scheme. Through a relationship with a reseller, the hospital discovered VividBoard, a Cincinnati-based manufacturer of premium, custom-designed whiteboards. The company offers a line of unique hospital dry erase boards designed to help increase patient satisfaction and improve communication among staff, patients and their families. VividBoard solved this Mississippi hospital’s whiteboard dilemma by constructing custom hospital whiteboards with pre-printed spaces for patient names, daily medical staff and spacious areas for miscellaneous information such as phone numbers for housekeeping and dietary. All whiteboards were branded with the hospital logo and colors, creating a clean, consistent and beautiful look throughout the entire facility. VividBoard also designed special boards for the maternity and children’s wings, which included additional pre-printed spaces for information required by lactation nurses and child life specialists.Today, the hospital’s whiteboards are hung in patients’ air swimmers rooms as customized, full-color pieces of artwork. Much less time is required by staff to determine what information needs to be captured since the necessary information is already pre-printed on the hospital whiteboards. Altogether, making the switch from white, ghosting, dirty-looking dry erase boards to colorful and organized whiteboards has resulted in greatly improved staff productivity and overall patient satisfaction. Hospitals appreciate VividBoard’s distinct patented coating process, which sublimates images into the whiteboards as opposed to silk screening, where the ink is placed on top of the board.
