Combining Beauty with Function

Skyline Art Services is committed to developing both innovative and inspirational art programs for healthcare

facilities. Our dedication to improve the patient experience has led us to develop our signature line of

patient-care markerboards. We developed this product line to organize the patient room footwall and to

eliminate unsightly spaces by combining a variety of products. Our markerboards are made to order, and

use the most durable and highest quality materials. They allow for flexibility in configuration, dimension,

finish specifications, and artwork selections. Because their components are interchangeable, you can build

solutions that are simple or elaborate.

Though our boards can be used in many different settings, a well-designed patient-care markerboard can

facilitate the collection of data for the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and

Systems).

Tempered Glass Markerboards

Compared to other markerboard surfaces, tempered glass can’t

be matched: it’s durable, cleanable, and won’t allow “ghosting.”

Meet your specific needs with custom designs and suitable

artwork selections, which display clearly and colorfully when

printed directly on glass.

Magnetic Porcelain Markerboards

For a classic look that inspires confidence and comfort, magnetic

porcelain markerboards both meet your clinical needs and suit

your interior design choices. Handsomely framed in appropriate

moulding – antimicrobial options available – these boards are

perfect for any environment.

Planning for the lifespan of a patient room means thinking carefully about

long-term solutions or else risking expensive replacement costs.

At Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital, communication boards were

integrated into the footwall millwork during the original construction of the

patient tower. The markerboard surface developed “ghosting” problems

within a year, which impaired clear communication. Such damage leaves

information visible from prior patients, putting patient privacy at risk.

The staff resorted to ad hoc solutions, using adhesive film to re-cover

the surface, and when that failed, simply taping sheets of paper to the

surface. The results were unsightly and difficult to read, compromising the

patients’ experience and safety.

After years of trying to find solutions for an adaptable markerboard, Skyline Art Services created a product that meets our needs and provides complete flexibility for years to come.
