improve communication

Patient communication boards are high-quality, in-room centers featuring your custom graphics. Designed for use in patient, operating, emergency rooms and more, these boards provide nurses and physicians a convenient place to list patient goals, daily care plans, test schedules and important notes. 

TYPES OF BOARDS: 

STANDARD – Our patented, high gloss coated boards are guaranteed to last at least 5 years! These boards have a variety of frame options and are offered with or without a magnetic surface. 

CAREBOARD™ – These interchangeable, easy-to-layer, magnetic graphics easily peel off for patient transfers or to accommodate different language and care needs. The 3D laminate frame prevents erasers from marking up walls and come in a variety of colors. Our Modular Careboard System includes additional opportunities to enhance communication. Consider adding a corkboard, chart or literature holder to your custom careboard. 

GLASS – Tempered glass is frameless and easy to clean without germ-inviting erasers! This elegant communication board is also built to last and is guaranteed for 50 years.

COLOR CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Did you know that color can affect mood and healing? Consider how color can play a factor in your patients’ health and satisfaction. Studies have proven that behavior can be influenced by colors. Have you ever wondered why green and blue are both standard scrub colors? It’s been shown that shades of blue and green can make patients feel calmer, more balanced and even less emotional. 

Green can give a calming effect and can have an emotional correlation with safety. Likewise, blue has been associated with health, healing, tranquility and understanding. In addition to color, designers have said that the role of art is very beneficial to the patient experience – consider combining the two for more impact. 

If you’re looking to reduce sound, add color and improve comfort in your facility, consider our sensory improvement products – sound-dampening panels, calming lights and aesthetically pleasing graphics – each designed to help improve patient surroundings and in-room sound levels. Whether you’re looking for calming illumination, sound-dampening panels or graphics that provide optimal recovery and clinical outcomes, American can DELIVER the solution. 

THINK LOCAL – Do you have a talented artist in your area? Consider having us partner with them to turn their art into a multi-functional piece – bringing beauty and reducing noise. Interior designers have found that people respond well to familiar artwork.

PROMOTIONAL CARE KITS

The perception of your healthcare facility starts before a patient ever steps foot through your doors. Regardless of the reason for the visit, it isn’t uncommon for people to be overwhelmed when it comes to their health.  A thoughtful yet simple gift can help put your patients at ease  – water bottle, pillow, pill holder or skin care item.
