Everything You Need to Know about Healthcare Digital Signage & Healthcare TV Protection & Sanitization
If you work at or manage a hospital, nursing home, psychiatric institution, doctor’s office, or other healthcare related location, you may be discovering needs for TVs or digital signage at your facility. Perhaps your need is to stream office information and procedure guidelines via software in a lobby or outside of a building entrance. Maybe you need to set up TVs or digital signs at a medical testing site. Perhaps your need is simply to put TVs in patients’ rooms.
However, you may be thinking the issue is being able to protect that TV or digital signage investment from damage or theft. Or the challenge at your facility may be needing to use a TV or display that can withstand a full high pressure wash down or be sanitized fully without damaging the electronics. In some cases, perhaps you need a TV or display that can’t be used for people harming themselves in a psychiatric facility or a similar location, so you’re in search of an anti ligature TV solution such as a ligature resistant TV enclosure. If you’re new to learning about indoor and outdoor TV and digital signage enclosures, you’re in for a treat because they solve most protection and sanitization needs. Below is an overview of TV and display enclosures for healthcare and a helpful comparison chart.
