PATIENT ENTERTAINMENT Today , patient entertainment systems are also becoming a norm in healthcare , helping patients beat boredom whilst engaging in personal healthcare . Offering solutions such as Patient Linc and Mobile Linc , EHS ensures that patients can watch movies , Skype with family members , and learn when their lab results are set to come back or when they ’ re going for an X-Ray .
The result : increased patient satisfaction , increased patient engagement , better health outcomes and fewer hospital readmissions .
“ Patient engagement is very critical as they can be in a hospital for days or even weeks ,” notes Babu . “ The patient has to be engaged and they should have a choice of entertainment . On top of that , Skype reduces face-to-face contact with visitors and patients potentially reducing infections which is one of the biggest challenges faced by healthcare sector today .”
INDUSTRY-LEADING PARTNERSHIPS To make healthcare affordable , Babu says the sector needs to utilise tools that offer the best return on investment ( ROI ) and that ’ s why EHS only partners with market-leading healthcare and technology providers .
“ Our solutions like Vocera , Stanley , Masimo , Forcare , Hill-Rom , or Philips , are amongst the best in that technology space ,”
