NHS Tayside: Ward eWhiteboard Installs Across a Live Clinical Estate

Electronic ward whiteboards installed and maintained across multiple National Health Service Tayside (NHS Tayside) hospital sites, procured through Insight, delivering point-of-care access to patient data without disrupting clinical activity.

The brief

Point-of-care data access, installed around live wards

Ward eWhiteboards give clinical staff point-of-care access to electronic patient data, directly where care is being delivered. Installing them across a health board’s hospital estate means working in and around live clinical areas — wards that can’t simply be closed for a day — with every fit meeting the same standard whether it’s a brand-new install or a straightforward swap-out of an existing unit.

The solution

Delivered through Insight, across five sites and counting

Working through Insight, Efficient IS has delivered eWhiteboard installations across NHS Tayside’s hospital estate, ranging from 32″ to 65″ screens depending on the ward and the space available — covering both new installs and swap-outs of existing units as they reach end of life.

Questions we’re asked most

Answered plainly

Can ward eWhiteboards be installed without disrupting clinical activity?

Yes — installs are scheduled around ward activity and clinical need, the same approach we use across all healthcare-setting installs, so care isn’t interrupted.

What screen sizes work for a ward eWhiteboard?

It depends on the ward layout and viewing distance — NHS Tayside’s installs range from 32″ to 65″, sized to each specific space rather than a single fixed spec across every ward.

Do you handle both new installs and replacing existing units?

Yes — both are delivered to the same standard, whether it’s a ward getting an eWhiteboard for the first time or an existing unit reaching end of life and being swapped out.
