2. Each digital whiteboard in the patient rooms is integrated with the medical center'sEpic EHR system, allowings patients and families to view real-time updates about their specific condition, care team and care plan and other information. 

3. The rooms also have interactive televisions that allow clinicians to access the most up-to-date information on the patient's health and give patients the ability to view educational resources about their care plan and tools to communicate with their clinical team.
