Results
Click Grafix oversaw the provision and installation of the hardware and Scala software in the new wing. PHKL also commissioned Click Grafix … to train the hospital staff and manage development of content for a period of one year.
Using Scala Designer, the content development included the creation of easy-to-update generic templates for general content, the Pharmacy Zone, the Children Zone and for the video wall, some of which meant repurposing PHKL’s existing print ads, informational and promotional material. Scala designer makes it easy to bind content across a large network by transforming creative content into templates.
PHKL and Click Grafix took advantage of the ease of which the Scala platform allows for third-party integrations. Located in the Satellite Pharmacy, they executed customized integration with the queue system, where they are displaying the queue numbers on a side frame and content playing on the main frame. This application allows for patients to see where they’re at in line while also providing a platform for advertisement.
Click Grafix is able to remotely, quickly make updates to the content, but the easy-to-use interface was quickly picked up by hospital staff, who will take over some of the content updates moving forward using the templates Click Grafix created in Designer.
