Custom whiteboards have a near limitless variety of design options and features, making them the perfect solution for many different healthcare fields. Hospitals use whiteboards to help their staff coordinate treatments and communicate with patients, but their use goes beyond ordinary patient care.

At VividBoard, we have designed, manufactured and placed hospital whiteboards in facilities across the country. Where can you use a whiteboard? Here are the six most common places:

Patient Rooms

Whiteboards that are placed in patient rooms help care teams easily communicate with patients, increasing the level of both patient satisfaction and care.

Our whiteboards can display a variety of information in any language you need, including:

  • Nurse and doctor contact information

  • Care plans

  • Discharge information

  • Pain scales

VividBoards come with a lifetime warranty, and with our InHarmony Changeable Glass options - with changeable inserts - you won't have to replace your whiteboards in the event of a merger, change of brand or for any other reason.

Maternity Wards

The maternity ward needs to be clean, organized and filled with information on the hospital's smallest patients. Whiteboards placed within the maternity ward can display: 

  • Baby and parent names

  • Care team information

  • Feeding and care times

  • Parent information 

Pediatrics

The vivid colors and images on our hospital whiteboards make them perfect for the pediatric setting. Young patients will love the bright colors and images of cartoon characters that we can display on our boards. 

Behavioral Health 

When it comes to behavioral healthcare, the health and safety of the patient is important, which is why many of our custom whiteboard styles are frameless and can be hung with tamper-proof screws that secure the board firmly to the wall. They are a much better solution than whiteboard paint, which can be messy and hard to clean.

Nursing Stations

Nurses love VivdBoards because they are durable, easy to write on and do not leave faded marks. They are also completely customizable. Our team listens to the needs of nurses during the design process and uses their input to make the perfect whiteboard solution.

It's our goal to ensure that your nursing team can spend less time worrying about whiteboard maintenance and more time helping patients feel happy, healthy and comfortable.

Surgery

Whether your operating staff is setting procedure schedules, displaying patient information or just needs to write a note to a fellow team member, a custom whiteboard is the best solution.

VividBoards are also easy to clean and disinfect with hospital grade cleaners, so your team won't have to worry about placing the boards in the surgical wing of your facility.
