Dear :
 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  Welcome to the Nov/Dec edition of the VividBoard GrapeVine, keeping you up to date on the latest news and creative projects from VividBoard.  As we travel the country, we are learning more about how our hospital custom white boards positively impact patient satisfaction, communication and overall patient comfort, highlighted by our colorful pain scale and room for family/staff/patient notes right on the board.   Get more ideas from our collection of patient room boards.
 
Whether you are following patients, tracking production output, or promoting daily specials, VividBoards look great, are easy to use, promote your brand and keep you focused!  Remember, it doesn't have to be boring... make it VIVID! 
New Women's Health Boards
womens health collageWorking in concert with a major hospital's Labor & Delivery and Post Partum units, we have designed whiteboards to create a calm, soothing atmosphere for patients.  These boards are functional and easy to use by staff greatly improving communication between doctors, nurses, patients and their families.  Because these are fast turn units, the board plays a key role in critical communication and task management.  Download our Women's Health brochure or read more on our website.
 
 
 
The corresponding nurses station board works to keep track of the busy unit.  With many high risk patients and multiple departments involved in each, this post-partum unit needed a large, color-coded, magnetic solution.  
 

VividBoards make impact in Highschool and Univeristy locker rooms 
School spirit abounds inside a locker room.  Now, even the whiteboard plays a role.  Not only will VividBoards bring color, spirit and even inspiration to the area, they can also facilitate coaching and discussion of plays.  Add a basketball court or lacrosse field right onto the board.  Leave room for notes or freestyle drawing. With our quality construction and sizes up to 4' x 8', VividBoards are in the game!

The VividBoards shown below were designed and sold by Randy White of Apex Awards in Cincinnati, OH.
 
 
 
Did You Know?
Many hospitals no longer include an eraser with patient room boards.  With new Present on Admission regulations and a focus on safety, erasers trap dust and dirt and may even become a haven for germs.  Similarly, most hospitals are eliminating the marker tray from patient room boards, primarily for safety and cleanliness. 
 
For hospitals interested in adding a marker tray... try our new Marker Parker.  
Instead of installing a large marker tray along the length of the board, our new 10" Marker Parker may be just enough.   Offered in magnetic or adhesive, the add-on Marker Parker gives hospitals the flexibility to add a marker tray post-installation.  The flexible plastic has enough give to minimize risk of injury, yet sturdy enough to stay in place.
