St. Vincent Carmel Hospital

Challenge

One St. Vincent Carmel employee was responsible for creating and broadcasting PowerPoint signs for providing pertinent information throughout the Hospital. Information such as meeting notifications to associates and managers and generic hospital wide notices were previously dispersed through mass emails. St. Vincent came to ConnectedSign requesting information on how to improve their communication through the digital signage process. They specifically required cafeteria menus, HR/benefit updates, staff recognition, time/date, weather, upcoming events, and weather emergencies.

Solution

We worked with St. Vincent Carmel to create templates with dedicated spaces for cafeteria menu options, department and hospital news, live newsfeeds, weather and time/day information. These templates are a permanent structure for their digital signage as live data pulls in daily menu options, current weather, daily announcements and more. These live data features allow already existing Word documents to become a source for live data in the signage which cuts out the middle step of creating PowerPoints that would then need to be deployed. The digital signage increased efficiency as well as reduced the number of internal emails being sent out.
