Tripleplay provides hospital TV integrated with patient bedside controller

A digital signage and television system based on this manufacturer's IPTV and VOD platform, composed of 150 systems, has been the solution chosen by Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals for its two campuses.

Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals, with offices in Lincoln and Omaha (Nebraska - EE.), provided since year 1958 rehabilitation and physical medicine services to children and adults throughout the country that have been recognized thanks to cutting-edge research and the use of the latest technologies.

As part of its philosophy of creating a community and inclusive environment, The managers of this hospital wanted to install a modern infotainment solution for the bedside television, with live TV, video on demand (VOD), entertainment and information about the rehabilitation campus.

To do this, they turned to local technology specialist Performance Solutions., who was in charge of advising them and showing them the solutions Tripleplay.

This is how Brad Arth explains it, Madonna IT Systems Administrator: “They were in charge of connecting us with other local users of the Tripleplay platform, organizing a tour of their facilities and thus learning first-hand how they had implemented their technology and developing some ideas on how to use the platform”.

Madonna decided to implement the Tripleplay platform on her two campuses, deploying 150 digital signage and interactive IPTV endpoints, with additional capabilities to deliver video and live TV to desktop computers.

“When we opted for the Tripleplay platform we had around two weeks before opening the hospital again after its renovation to install it., that would work and offer continuous support -recalls Arth- and it was quite a challenge, discouraging at first”.

Until that moment, The center had televisions that worked well, media and personalized content created and broadcast in the 150 screens, “So we were well on our way to personally programming all the hospital televisions.”, ensure Arth.

Tripleplay's solution includes full VOD and IPTV capabilities for each patient's bedside television and also integrates with the hospital's bedside controller., Custom built to make the system even easier to use.
