Case Study: Dutch Hospital (Diaconesse) achieves clearer patient communications and reduced staffing costs with ONELAN digital signage

Dutch Hospital is Prescribed ONELAN to Improve Patient Communications

Dutch Hospital (Diaconesse hospital in Zeist, with outpatient clinics in Meppel, Steenwijk and Vollenhove) needed a clearer, more efficient way to communicate with patients and manage patient flow and wayfinding. Prior to the project one nurse had to manage flow full-time, so the hospital selected ONELAN digital signage to simplify information delivery for a mixed, often elderly audience.

ONELAN installed 19 Net-top-box (NTB 510 and NTB 5000) players driving 42" screens with single-zone displays and an HTML clock, managed by ADL and a local dealer. Using ONELAN’s Ad-Hoc capability nurses can update doctor availability, schedules, delays and appointment times themselves; the system has improved patient communications and reduced costs by removing the need for a nurse dedicated to managing patient flow.
