Hi, We just had a presentation on a "kiosk" although it was not typically what I considered a kiosk. It was the 3Vue Totem from Sheletron. It has 3 screens (17" or 19") and is actually an electronic totem pole. They can custom create them in your hospital colors and they post your logo also. One screen can be an interactive touch screen (in multi languages) for a map. The other two screens can show highlights of the hospital or other information, movies about our fitness circle, etc. It was very nice. I have a second hospital I do some work for and they have actual PCs in the cafeteria, front lobby and surgical waiting area (we are a heart hospital so people wait there for long periods of time) for visitors to access internet sites. They are locked down a bit so they cannot download and have something like parental controls to help with what sites are accessed. And they always seem to be in use...

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Is anyone using kiosks in a hospital? They seem to be proliferating throughout our society. Kiosks are appearing in airports, movie theatres, grocery stores, hardware stores, and many other locations. If you are using one in a hospital, what is is used for? Patient registration, patient information, general information, wayfinding, staff information, propaganda,???? What is the business case for a kiosk? How you do calculate an ROI?
