Berkley East Convalescent Hospital Installs New In-Patient Room LCD Displays to Enhance Patient Experience

Panasonic, a manufacturer of healthcare technology solutions,
today published a case study highlighting Berkley East Convalescent
Hospital’s installation of 100 new in-room patient displays to
improve the patient experience and modernize the facility. Located
in Santa Monica, CA, this private nursing home provides a variety
of services for seniors and disabled adults, accepting more than
100 patient admissions a month.
In 2011, Berkley East management decided it was time to remodel
the facility, including an upgrade to the patient-room televisions,
replacing outdated CRT models. The hospital established a series of
strategic objectives for the new in-room professional-grade HDTVs
that would be purchased: They needed to meet UL60065 (Annex Q)
safety requirements, include pillow speaker remote / audio nurse
call system integration, be reliable and durable, feature a stylish
design and excellent picture quality, be easily sanitized and
include an excellent warranty program for on-site technical
support.
The hospital ran a series of tests on three different in-room
patient displays, including the ease of programming and system-wide
cloning, auto-channel select, ease of overall controls via the
remote, strength of electrical cords and pillow speaker
connections, as well as screen brightness, contrast and color.
After the evaluation, Berkeley East purchased 100 Panasonic 32-inch
TH-32LRH30U LCD patient room displays.
“All major IT investments come with their share of risks and
purchasing displays for our facility was no different,” said
Galper. “We needed a reliable HDTV that minimized these risks by
delivering quality, functionality and value. Failure to achieve
these objectives would result in a quality of life issue for our
residents and negative financial impact for the company. With its
excellent HD picture quality, competitive price, UL60065 Annex Q
Certification and ease of integration with our existing pillow
speaker system, the Panasonic LRH Series LCD patient room display
exceeded our expectations.”
Since the installation, the Panasonic LRH Series TH-32LRH30U LCD
displays continue to improve the patient in-room experience and the
reputation of Berkley East Convalescent Hospital.
