How to keep rehab patients on track to recovery
The day-to-day schedule for rehab patients often changes based on their recovery progress, therapy sessions, and medical needs.
One feature that our clinical team has seen help hospitals better support their rehab patients is an integrated schedule on interactive TVs.
Integrating SONIFI Health’s system with your hospital’s scheduling software provides real-time updates to their daily schedule, helping patients better prepare for their day.
Informed patients
The patient schedule feature creates a quick visual reference of the day’s events, making sure patients are aware of upcoming therapy sessions and medical check-ins times without confusion.
Especially given how much things can change from day to day in rehab, patients want to know what’s happening and why. The schedule updates empower them and ease their anxiety by giving them the information they’re looking for in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
Adaptive controls
SONIFI can assist in making it easy for all patients to access their schedules and other important resources on the in-room television by implementing sip-and-puff or voice navigation.
Simple education
The patient schedule feature on interactive TVs can include explanations of what a test, procedure, or specialist appointment is, and how it will help the patient’s condition and recovery.
Additional on-demand educational content tailored to their condition allows patients to reinforce therapy techniques and gain a deeper understanding of their recovery process.
Workflow efficiency
The integrated schedule feature also saves nurses time by automatically updating schedules when changes occur, while also proactively answering the frequently asked questions patients have about tests, procedures, sessions, or specialists.
If patients have other questions, the SONIFI Health system also facilitates seamless communication with care teams, enabling patients to send requests directly to care providers, streamlining coordination and addressing concerns without delays.
Family & caregiver support
Up-to-date patient schedules help a patient’s family and caregivers better coordinate their visits, track rehab progress, and align their support with the patient’s needs that day.
Improved outcomes
When patients feel informed, educated, and prepared, they’ll be better equipped for follow-up questions about their care and post-discharge instructions for long-term success.
With the integrated SONIFI Health system, rehab patients gain a structured, supportive tool that adapts to their changing schedules, enhancing their ability to participate in their recovery while reducing stress and uncertainty.
