Liverpool improves patient entertainment
Tags: Bedside systems 09 Oct 2009 Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust is deploying a new
entertainment solution to systems at patient bedsides that also enable
its clinicians to access its patient information system. The trust has already started to roll-out the solution from Exterity,
which uses the hospital's existing IP network to supply TV and radio
channels to its Philips CareServant patient information system. The
content can also be streamed to TVs in waiting rooms. Dr Zafar Chaudry, chief information officer for Liverpool Women’s NHS
Foundation Trust and Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“This is making a big difference to the patient experience. Patients
who are less stressed are less grumpy, so the nurses have an easier
time caring for them." By using the trust's IP network, the Exterity solution avoids the need
for a separate analogue TV cabling system. It captures the TV and
radio channels from an aerial and then transmits them into the
hospital network as standard, easily managed MPEG streams. “We are always looking for additional tasks the LAN [local area
network] can support, to make sure we get the most from a significant
investment,” Dr Chaudry said. The Philips CareServant terminals - wide-screen, bed mounted
touch-screens with a mini- keyboard and phone services - were
implemented earlier this year.
