Advantages of Touchscreens in the Healthcare Industry
Patient care and practitioner time are critical factors; touch screens are uniquely positioned to assist both healthcare providers and patients on a variety of levels. Touch screens can be used as interfaces to the high-resolution monitors that are already being used in medical imaging devices, for example, or as screens for patient kiosks; even as tools for aiding the rehabilitation of patients.
Medical Information Touchscreens
Provide both healthcare workers and patients with a large volume of available data, from appointment schedules to patient status updates. They make administrative functions easier to navigate, freeing up doctors and healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care.
Patient Kiosks
Streamlining the patient check-in process allows patients to provide necessary personal information concisely in advance. This reduces the need for paper printouts and manual registration check-ins. In turn, this allows information to be captured directly into back-end database systems for easy access by the hospital or medical administration, which allows better utilization of existing staff members.
