Using visual management for healthcare is highly effective. Here is why…
Most importantly, see how you can use visual management to make healthcare processes clear to all your team. Above all, at a glance.
Healthcare visual management – ward information
Make your own ward information boards. As a result, make key information available. Furthermore, at a glance. So, choose the frameless option which gives as much real estate as possible to the visual board. In other words, we do not have to accommodate the frame. For quick and easy updates, choose dry wipe boards. These work with standard dry wipe pens. Make your ward information board custom sized. In short, you choose the exact dimensions that works for the space you have available.
Furthermore, make your patient bedside boards relevant to your own wards. In other words, choose your own ward names. Likewise, reflect the key information that you need to show. For example, key team and staff members. So choose our dry wipe frameless boards. Above all these are particularly suitable for clinical settings for a number of reasons. Firstly, they are robust and offer longevity. Secondly, with no frame, these boards are quick and easy to wipe down. In addition, there is no possibility for water or debris to pool in the corners of the frame. Most importantly, the frameless boards can be wiped right to the edges.

Healthcare visual management – operating procedures
In short, show your processes in a way that’s immediately clear. Custom make your own visual management board to reflect your own procedures. Use RAG dials or Red Green sliders to show the status of targets. Make easy updates and assign responsibility. Above all, we custom make a board that works for you.
Use hand wash procedure boards because they make the hand washing procedures clear and accessible to all. Likewise, show the hand wash procedure above every sink. Above all, these boards make clear exactly how to wash hands using clear instructions. Similarly, they offer regular reminders and prompts to encourage hand washing.
Our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) changing procedure displays work because they make PPE changing procedures immediately clear. Above all, they show which item(s) must be put on, and in what order. Most importantly, make all communications clear in an instant. Use pictures for quick reference. Add headings. If you need, show text in more than one language.

Include status sliders on your board for visual snapshot

Healthcare visual management – manage your team
Custom make your own staff noticeboards and other visual displays. Display shift patterns. Set up a team holiday planner. Show who senior management is. Establish a wall of fame and celebrate staff successes. Share staff notices and build a community within your workplace. Likewise, show emergency response information.
Manage your team:

Healthcare visual management – other considerations
Fulfil Health & Safety and all other regulatory obligations. Use standout and self-explanatory visuals to show your colleagues how to comply. Raise awareness of relevant rules. Show your team what to do. Likewise, encourage a shared approach. Above all, create instant points of reference for the most relevant information.
Put in place a Problem Follow Up board or an Incident Report Board to manage concerns. More than just visual displays. Certainly, they stand out and grab attention. However, they also facilitate a Follow Up system. In other words, report the incident, or write up the problem. Likewise, log the cause.  Furthermore, share the countermeasure. Finally, assign responsibility for resolving issues and preventing future problems.
Other considerations:
Make your emergency response info visible and accessible

Make problem solving accessible and visual

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
