INNOVATION
Patient whiteboards get interactive Did you ever stay in a hospital and wonder, “Who is the doctor taking care of
me? What is my care plan for today? When am I scheduled to get out of here?” Well some patients at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, Calif., now have
the answers to these and other important healthcare questions available at the touch of a button, 24/7, via GetWellNetwork’s Interactive Patient Whiteboard – a technology fi rst for the industry.
T e customizable communications hub aims to transform bedside care delivery
by enabling patients, families and care team members to easily share vital informa- tion split into three main areas: My Team, My Day and About Me. Patients can even personalize the “About Me” section by selecting profi le images, keeping a journal and creating links to their favorite websites. T e design and development of the Interactive Patient Whiteboard is the culmination of research, input and guidance by the GetWellNetwork Interactive Patient Whiteboard Hospital Task Force, which included members from more than 15 facilities and multiple disciplines.
