W And WF Poster Holders
Friday, September 26th, 2008Make the Exam Room Wait Bearable
As you guys all know, going in for a doctor’s appointment is comprised of a series of temporary appeasements. First, you arrive on time, but the doctor can’t see you just yet. You put your name down on the sign-in list, though, so that’s something. It keeps you somewhat satisfied that things are moving along. You’re still sitting in the waiting room, but at least your name’s down and the ball is rolling. Now, you’re thumbing through old issues of “People” to keep busy when the nurse finally pops her head out and calls your name.
Yes! Almost there.
You are led to a small side room and told to remove your pants and sit on the examination table. The wax paper
underneath keeps bunching up and you’re waiting – yet again – but at least you’re at the last step in the process. But soon enough, ten minutes have passed and you’re still twiddling your thumbs. What to do while you wait?
Well, doctors, put yourself in your patients’ shoes. Your appointment is set for 10:30, but you don’t even see the doctor until 11:15. Sounds pretty frustrating, right? You can ease the pain of extended wait times by providing some reading material for the examination room. You already provide magazines for the waiting room in order to alleviate patient frustrations, so why not do the same for the examination rooms? Sitting in a bare room with white walls and that ambient buzzing noise from the lights can be incredibly boring and incredibly stressful.
Instead of providing the same outdated magazines they read in the waiting room, cover the examination room walls with interesting, pertinent medical posters. Maps of the human anatomy, little-known medical facts, easy preventive measures everyone can relate to – these are just a few great topic choices for examination room wall mounted posters. Not only will you keep the patients occupied, you’ll also provide good, useful medical information to people who could stand to hear it. An informed patient is always a better patient.
W and WF poster holders are the two best wall mounted poster holders around. Their acrylic, glossy sheen will both protect and advertise your posters. It’s easy to clean, too, so if a patient gets a little handsy, removing smudges won’t be a big issue. They’re easy to mount on the wall, cabinets, or door, and they give your office a decidedly professional air. Just tacking posters up without a holder looks crude and unprofessional, so use the W or WF poster holders and instill confidence in your patients.
