Boosting Productivity with AI: Insights from Experts with Real-world Experience

Effective communication lies at the heart of patient-centered care. In this webinar, Connection and Samsung tackle the challenges faced by hospitals and healthcare organizations. We’ll explore innovative solutions that bridge gaps—between patients and staff, between technology and healing.
1. The Digital Front Door: Patients expect hotel-like amenities in hospital rooms. But how does Samsung translate the digital front door experience to the patient’s actual room? Smart door signs provide real-time updates, staff profiles, and clinical communication, enhancing patient perception.
2. Samsung Healthcare TV’s: Beyond entertainment, these TVs revolutionize in-room clinical communication. Customized education, real-time surveys, and a digital concierge benefit patients. But they also empower clinicians, reducing nurse call fatigue and involving support departments efficiently.
3. Extending the Care Team: Clinician burnout is real, exacerbated by staffing shortages. Samsung leverages Healthcare TVs to extend the care team’s reach. Virtual rounding, tele-sitting, and quiet patient rooms—all contribute to better outcomes.
4. Digital Whiteboards: Say goodbye to old-school dry erase boards. Samsung’s digital whiteboards display medication schedules, discharge details, and care team roles. The benefits? Ripple effects across patients, families, and the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Join us as we unlock the potential of smart rooms, making care smarter, more efficient, and ultimately, more compassionate.
