Integration of Hospital Room Hospitality Features onto Patient-Controlled Tablet Computers
刊登時間
ABSTRACT
Background:
Patient portals tethered to electronic heatlh records can improve patient experience, activation, and outcomes. However, adoption of inpatient portals have been challenging. One way to potentially increase inpatient portal usage is to integrate it with a room control app found on a common tablet computer.
Objective:
To perform a retrospective analysis of patient usage of a room control app found on tablet computers in patient rooms of our new inpatient tower.
Methods:
We identified all patients who were admitted for >24 hours to our new inpatient tower over a 90-day period. We then identified patients who used the room control app at least one time during their admission. We linked this data to patient demographics (including age, sex, and race) and admitting service. We then performed univariable and multivariable logistic regression to assess patterns of room control app usage. 【MORE】
