Why ASC
CASE STUDy
A Large Michigan Hospital Simplifies Patient Television and Facilities Support
Project Overview
A large Michigan hospital needed to replace a complicated television system that used different configurations and pillow speakers across patient rooms.
ASC implemented one standardized, integrated system with a consistent setup for patient entertainment and nurse assistance. The simplified configuration improved the patient experience while making the system easier for facilities personnel to operate, troubleshoot and support.
The Challenge
The hospital’s previous television system required different pillow speakers and configurations for the patient room.
These variations created unnecessary complexity for patients, clinical staff, and facilities personnel.
Reliability and ease of use were the hospital’s most critical priorities.
The Solution
ASC worked with the hospital team to develop and implement a standardized, integrated television system.
The new configuration provides one setup, one pillow speaker, and a single point of access for patient entertainment and nurse assistance.
The Results
Simplified Patient Experience. One consistent television configuration across patient rooms
Easier Facilities Support. Easier staff training, troubleshooting and long-term support. The Director of Facilities described it as a “one-and-done implementation” that significantly simplified long-term operation and support.
Reliable Performance. The system delivers the reliable patient service the hospital identified as its primary objective.
Predictable Costs. Project costs remained consistent with expectations, with no hidden costs or unexpected fees.
Dependable Ongoing Support. The hospital continues to receive responsive support from ASC, although the reliability of the system means that assistance is rarely required.
Key Outcomes
- ✓One standardized television system
- ✓One speaker for entertainment and nurse assistance
- ✓Fewer room configuration variables
- ✓Reliable service for patients
- ✓Easier troubleshooting and staff training
- ✓Lower vendor-related costs
- ✓No hidden fees or unexpected charges
- ✓Timely ongoing support from ASC
“ASC is the best when it comes to implementing new systems at hospitals. This was my third hospital conversion with ASC, and I had great results with each conversion.”
— Director of Facilities, Large Michigan Hospital
FAQ
Common Questions From Healthcare & Senior Living Clients
What entertainment technology do you install in hospitals and senior living communities?
ASC installs and supports commercial DIRECTV systems, patient and resident television, and streaming through our Advanced Entertainment Platform (AEP) — along with healthcare digital signage — built specifically for hospitals, health systems, and senior living communities.
Can you support multi-building hospital campuses or senior living communities?
Yes. We regularly design and manage technology across multiple buildings and campuses under one account, so your team isn't juggling separate vendors for entertainment, security, and infrastructure at every location.
Do you offer patient entertainment systems alongside traditional cable and DIRECTV?
Yes. Our Advanced Entertainment Platform (AEP) layers modern streaming on top of commercial DIRECTV and cable, giving patients and residents the on-demand experience they expect without losing live news, sports, and local programming.
How do you minimize disruption to patients and residents during installation or upgrades?
We plan installations and upgrades around your facility's schedule, working room-by-room or building-by-building as needed so patient care and resident routines continue uninterrupted.

Yes. We design senior living TV solutions with resident-friendly interfaces and reliable, easy-to-use entertainment options, backed by responsive local support.
