How Telcion Transforms Healthcare Facilities with Digital Signage

Imagine this: You’re walking into a healthcare facility, and right outside the main entrance, a digital sign catches your eye. It displays updates about flu shots, services like pharmacy and dental care, and a cheerful reminder to book your next appointment. Inside, while waiting for your turn, another screen provides valuable health tips and recommendations, turning an otherwise idle moment into an opportunity for learning and engagement.

For patients, this increases quality of care. For healthcare providers and administrators, this is a solution to what is often a big operational headache.

The Challenge

Many of our multi-site healthcare clients face a similar problem: communicating essential updates and promoting services efficiently. Often this approach is manual. Teams must update signage physically at each location, a time-consuming and error-prone process. The challenge isn’t just limited to one site, either. Across multiple facilities, healthcare clinics can find that dynamic signage quickly becomes a significant burden. This leads to struggles with outdated content, inconsistent messaging, and the logistical nightmare of managing updates across multiple endpoints.

This inefficiency isn’t just a burden on their staff; it is a missed opportunity to engage patients and drive awareness of additional services. The need for a centralized, scalable solution is clear—and that’s where digital signage comes in.

The Solution

Telcion has partnered with some of our healthcare clients to design and implement modern digital signage solutions. Here’s how it works:

1. Centralized Control via the Cloud: Instead of managing individual signs manually, your marketing team can now create and push content from a single cloud-based platform. This meant real-time updates can be made effortlessly across all locations and devices.

2. Scalability Across Endpoints: Whether it is one site or fifty, the cloud-based system ensures consistency and efficiency. Adding a new endpoint is as simple as connecting a TV to the network.

3. Dynamic, Engaging Content: This system allows you to replace static signs with dynamic content that can include videos, schedules, health tips, and service advertisements. This keeps patients informed and engaged while driving awareness of additional services, ultimately contributing to increased revenue.

4. Future Potential: Beyond lobby signage, the system can also be used inside exam rooms. Patients waiting for their appointments could watch screens displaying health information and service promotions, making their wait time both informative and productive.

The Results: Efficiency, Engagement, and Revenue Growth

Digital signage has the capacity for significant potential for your healthcare organization:

• Improved Efficiency: The marketing team can spend less time managing content, freeing them to focus on strategy and creativity.

• Enhanced Patient Experience: Patients are better informed about services, health tips, and promotions during their visit.

• Increased Revenue Opportunities: By promoting services directly to patients, you can tap into new revenue streams.

Review and Takeaways

If you want to consider implementing digital signage in your organization, here are some things to keep in mind.

1. Identify the Pain Points: Start by understanding the inefficiencies in your current processes. Where are the areas of marketing and patient communication that consume too many resources?

2. Think Scalable: Choose solutions that can grow with your organization. A cloud-based approach ensures flexibility and scalability.

3. Engage Stakeholders Early: Collaborate with teams who will manage and use the system, like marketing and IT, to ensure the solution meets their needs.

4. Leverage Idle Time: Use waiting periods, like lobby or exam room downtime, to engage customers and promote services effectively.

5. Measure and Iterate: Continuously assess the impact of your solution and refine it based on feedback and results.
