Digital visual and shift management systems to improve healthcare

Digital totem for shift management and large format screens in the waiting rooms are some of the developments of Sopa Software with VisibleTree for this environment.

With projects developed for the Catalan Institute of Health (Institut Catalá de la Salut –ICS), with facilities in the Barcelona town of Santa Coloma de Gramanet, the specialist in digital signage Soup Software, along with VisibleTree, its area of products and services of design and integration of interactive digital signage equipment, has started a new professional stage entering the field of large format screens, digital totem and the development of equipment and software adapted to the needs of the client.

In this sense, highlights the development for these health centres of a traditional shift management system, with a touchscreen ticket issuer; an application embedded in the operator's system (nurse or doctor) and one or more screens for the waiting room.

The system, with a very simple operation for both the patient and the staff, can connect to the ICS computer system to find out if the user has a previously requested appointment or create one in real time.

On the ticket issuer screen, the user can scan the displayed QR code, through a code reader or an application designed for this purpose that warns in time of the appointment, or simply view this ticket, giving you freedom to do other things while waiting your turn. On the Operator's computer (nurse or doctor) is notified of the arrival of a new patient, with a pop-up window and in which you can indicate 'free' or 'next', while the waiting room monitor shows the correct shift call.

Informative messages from shifts scroll smoothly across the screen, as users show more attention to movement than to a sudden change. A call is also made from the screen, by voice, of the information of the shift in progress.

The health centers of Santa Coloma de Gramanet, dependent on the Catalan Institute of Health, have the digital totem developed by VisibleTree, that integrates a 21.5-inch touch screen; a double-sided laser printer with front output and another of 80 Mm; as well as Metrologic barcode reader and electronic DNI chip cards; integrated computer and application for patient appointment management.
