Turning any screen into a communications platform

Screen Star delivers content to television and computer screens within your GP practice, putting you back in control of your waiting room. Keep your patients informed by sharing healthcare information, real-time news streams or engaging content within one simple solution.

Expanding media library

In addition to your own content, choose from over 1000 copyright-free images and videos from an expansive library of media. Screen Star’s Content has been provided by leading National organisations such as Public Health England and The British Heart Foundation, ensuring the most relevant and up-to-date healthcare information is shown.

Patients are also able to listen to the Radio or a range of royalty-free music, creating a relaxed, welcoming and neutral space.

Simplify patient flow

Screen Star integrates with EMIS Web to help speed up the patient flow in your practice. Patient and clinical names are automatically called - alongside text announcements - when a patient is due to see a clinician. Or should a patient wish to remain anonymous, staff can easily set an alias using their smartphone, PC or tablet.

If you would like to find out more about Screen Star or have any questions, please contact us below. Please note all enquires will be forwarded to the partner and will not be responded to by Optum (formerly EMIS).
