HOSPITALS

The healthcare industry encompasses many entities providing medical services including hospitals, urgent care and medical centers, laboratories, pharmacies, MRI facilities, and doctor’s offices. Providing medical care has evolved into an information-intensive process requiring access to shared information.

Hospital waiting rooms, patient rooms and doctors offices offer a unique opportunity to keep visitors entertained and comfortable. Often, visitors spend much time in a patient's room with nothing to do while the patient rests. In the comfort of their bed, a Patient can surf the net, check email, send email to family and friends, and keep in touch with the outside world.

With healthcare cost containment measures in place around the world, average wait times in hospitals has increased dramatically.  By providing WHOTSPOT in your waiting room you can keep clients happy and gain an additional revenue source in the process.

Waiting for service can be difficult for anyone. How about letting your patients pass their time in style? What used to seem like hours, can now feel like minutes!

A WHOTSPOT location can be used to drive targeted advertising, stream videos, play games or surf the net. Children can use it to play games, adults can use it to keep in touch with the office.

"I can't imagine doing my job without wireless. We have wireless laptops for ER registration. That means we can start working on patients as soon as the medics wheel them in. It used to be that we'd have very limited background knowledge on a patient until that data had been entered into the dashboard system. Now we have all of the critical information immediately because the medics give it to an intake nurse sitting right there with us in the ER core." [Issue 11.05 UNWIRED - A Wired Special Report - May 2003]

WHOTSPOT can help your hospital go wireless and install secure PC's in waiting rooms. For patient access, we recommend a full-featured laptop with our WHOTSPOT Kiosk Management software solution.

Each WHOTSPOT location can be remotely monitored and can offer a combination of free and paid access.
