Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York Deploys Netpresenter Software
Type: News

Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York has improved staff communication and the distribution of news by implementing Netpresenter software.

According to hospital officials, the software is now used to manage internal news centrally, publish this on almost 1,000 staff PCs (as a screensaver) and several large TV screens, continuously keeping staff members up-to-date. Visitors and patients are kept informed using a dozen TV screens in public areas such as the cafeteria. The same system is used to alert all instantly in the case of an emergency.
"We were looking for a way to further improve staff morale and cohesion, and we found it," said Eric Sommer, senior writer and editor at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. "Netpresenter has a huge effect on improving employee satisfaction, morale and on building a sense of community. It is easy to see why Netpresenter is so popular amongst staff. Everyone wants to be recognized for work well done. When a team does something noteworthy, they now know everyone on staff will be aware of their achievement. This makes the team feel appreciated."

The hospital also uses Netpresenter software to inform visitors and patients using multiple TV screens.

Netpresenter communication and alert software ensures hospitals' messages are seen and remembered, for example on compliance and training. The software can also automatically re-use information from existing intranets, CMS, databases, Excel and the internet, to allow publication of rosters, menu's or the latest healthcare news.
