Parkland Hospital

Administering healthcare services requires precise attention to detail at all levels, from internal staff communication to direct patient care. This is certainly not an easy goal to accomplish. So when the Parkland staff realized the need and opportunity to increase patient safety and satisfaction in hospital rooms, they turned to Clarus®, a leading manufacturer of clean, bacteria resistant communication tools for healthcare professionals. “We were in need of a custom-tailored solution,” recalls the designer. “Our vision was to have a writable surface installed on millwork in patient rooms and nurse stations, and we needed more than 600 boards in total.” Traditional whiteboards pose many problems when used in a hospital setting. One such problem is the inability to fully erase information. This ghosting, as it’s commonly called, can lead to a potential breach in patient confidentiality or create incorrect or unclear patient guidelines. Clarus Healthboards avoid this completely with a glass surface that never stains, erases easily and completely, and is bacteria resistant making it an ideal solution in hospital settings.
