Entertainment & Amenities

It used to be an extra. Now, the TV monitor in the hospital room is a vital ingredient in patient care.

For the hospital, interactive patient care technology is a tool to enhance the consistent delivery of proper care. It helps the nursing staff improve the clinical workflow.

For the patient, a key component of interactive patient care technology is premium entertainment:

  • Internet access
  • Challenging and fascinating games
  • First run movies
  • Cable TV

A collection of relaxation videos is available. Often, a member of the care team will turn on the patient's TV and play a relaxation video when patient entertainment systemthe patient is first brought to the room, helping to create a warm and welcoming environment.

Videos can often be used to help patients address pain management. Passive interventions for pain management can take place with videos offering spiritual or humorous content.

The hospital can also deliver its own video content. Many of our hospital partners provide special orientation and safety videos or a welcome video from the CEO.

This helps the patient make a smooth transition to a new environment. The process can take place as the admitting nurse demonstrates the pillow speaker and its controls.

To help clinicians care for the patient as well as treating the condition, the CareNavigator™ Whiteboard provides relevant personal information.

For example, this can list members of the patient's care team, the room number, current weather, and information on the patient's favorite football team. It also serves as a personalized portal on CareNavigator™ which allows easy navigation into all content channels, connecting to appropriate hospital IT systems for automatic updates.
