What are the Top Locations for Digital Signage in Healthcare Facilities?

Healthcare facilities are embracing digital displays, which offer a modern form of signage that can be updated quickly and connected across a facility for seamless messaging.

Here are some of the top locations to consider installing digital signage in a healthcare facility.

Exterior Locations for Digital Signage

Entrances

Set the tone for how you want to be perceived by installing a monument, pylon, or custom sign structure with a digital display. Consumers live in a digital world, and being greeted by a modern, eye-catching display as soon as they pull in will go a long way in generating trust and confidence in that facility.

If your facility is located on a main road or by a highway, install a digital display here so that passing traffic can become aware of your facility and information like hours, services, wait times, and more.

Parking Lots/Garages

For large campuses with valets and multiple lots, installing digital signage in parking areas can help to keep guests informed on parking rates, lot capacities, and even wayfinding to specific locations.

If your facility includes a bus or train stop, place a digital display here to show bus schedules, campus maps, and facility information.

Patient drop-off and pick-up zones are another area where digital signage works well to communicate check-in instructions, department directions, and valet or wheelchair assistance availability, reducing congestion and confusion at one of the busiest points on the campus.

Key Wayfinding Locations

If your facility is a part of a large campus, do a study to determine where guests frequently get lost and what buildings receive the most traffic. Then install street furniture with interactive maps and directionals to help people navigate.

Interior Locations for Digital Signage

Waiting Rooms

Digital displays give facilities a powerful tool to reduce perceived wait times through engaging, varied content while also communicating practical details like estimated wait times, nearby amenities, and check-in instructions.

Visitor Check-In/Welcome Areas

Another busy area of a medical facility is check-in. Install digital displays here to help communicate announcements, visiting hours, check-in instructions, and more.

Auditoriums/Meeting Rooms

Digital signage is not just for visitors and patients; it can offer real value to employees as well. Installing digital displays in meeting areas helps to modernize these spaces, provides an easier way to share information, and enables seamless room scheduling and availability updates.

Cafeteria/Break Areas

Digital displays in the cafeteria are ideal for displaying menu options that can be immediately updated.

Displays in employee break areas can help to keep staff informed about facility news and updates, reducing reliance on printed bulletins, email chains, and outdated cork board postings that are easy to overlook. These screens can also be used to celebrate staff achievements and reinforce the facility’s culture and values in a space where employees can decompress.
