An interactive system encourages patients and family to actively participate in their health care, improving communication with staff members, and providing a smoother and faster recovery and discharge.
The Skylight ACCESS is a two-way digital communications platform that turns a regular hospital TV set into an interactive information, communication, and entertainment network. The system creates a powerful, patient-centered environment for staff, patients, and guests by supplying information and education to personalize their stay. The system allows direct departmental service requests, reducing demand on nursing staff and enhancing workflow. Customized communication offers control of content to create personalized hospital experience and improve satisfaction. User-friendly content templates help patients organize and manage their information, messaging, and daily schedules, with immediate updates from any hospital workstation. Patients can also electronically view and select their meals via a bedside menu system. The system can also provide an independent high-speed Internet port in patient rooms and other waiting or common areas so that patients and guests can stay connected.
