Patient engagement is important and the healthcare experience – particularly in inpatient settings – is increasingly seen by providers as a critically valuable priority.
At University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, for instance, kids can control their own room – not just TV and bedside entertainment, but the lighting, meal ordering, nurse communication and more. With new in-room systems, the hospital has helped its small charges make the most of their stay, brightening their environment and offering easier ways to contact nurses. The technology also offers valuable functionality for grownups too – both parents and hospital staff.
The bedside tech from Oneview Healthcare helps the hospital reduce patient stress and frustration, and allow for more constructive nurse workflows.
