Patient Care Boards
A popular choice for academic and healthcare institutions.
Communication is critical to the operation of health care systems and patient care boards address numerous issues in this arena. JCAHO data shows that the underlying cause of 65% of sentinel events is a breakdown in communication. Our patented Patient Care Boards were created with this problem in mind. They provide a tool for transparent communication among patients, caregivers, non-caregiving staff, and visitors. Based on data from trials with these boards, they can provide a better understanding of care, provide a central location and organized means to communicate information about procedures, and clarify the results of various efforts.
The IDS Patient Care Board may be created with or without accompanying imagery to calm and soothe the viewer. patients and families can clearly see names of caregivers, schedules for treatments or activities, dates, or telephone numbers – the combinations are up to you. Promote clearer communication and watch patient satisfaction rise.

NEW! Frameless Behavioral Healthcare Boards
Patient Care Boards pioneered the Frameless Behavioral Healthcare Board to be used in settings where the typical patient communication board is not an option due to safety concerns.
The frameless panel is comprised of foam backer, a digitally printed custom sheet and a dry erase cover for light weight and durability.
Our frameless behavioral healthcare board has the same attributes as our regular patient boards including:
• Your board can be customized to match your process and your department’s specific organizational need.
• The boards are durable with a tough transparent dry-erase surface layer over a custom-designed digital graphic print, capable of withstanding constant cleaning.
• The boards are lightweight with a foam backer. The boards weigh less than a pound and can be easily mounted with industrial-strength double-sided tape.
• Both standard and custom sizes available.
