SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — LodgeNet Healthcare, a leading provider of integrated patient communication solutions, announced that its environmental control project with Siemens Industry Inc.’s Building Technologies Division has gone live at Maple Grove Hospital in Maple Grove, Minn. In addition to having access to education and engagement content, relaxation videos, and hospital information, patients are now able to manage their own comfort by controlling the temperature of their room using the pillow speaker and the television as an interface and display.
“We are pleased to have worked with Siemens on the project at Maple Grove, and we continue to partner with our customers to identify ways of utilizing our system to improve the patient experience,” said Gary Kolbeck, president of LodgeNet Healthcare. “Forward thinking facilities like Maple Grove are always looking for ways to improve the patient experience and give patients more control of their environment during their stay. This project does both, and the interface allows for blind and light controls in conjunction with Siemens’ Building Automation System.”
