University of California Irvine Medical Center has opened a 16-bed unit that features patient rooms with interactive tech systems, including digital white boards that display EHR data.
Three details:
1. The medical center tapped smart hospital tech provider SONIFI Health to help launch the patient unit, accelerated by about a month to make room for more patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
