Bedside entertainment systems: not just fun and games
Healthcare IT News
EMRs and CPOE are all well and good. But what about one of the lesser discussed areas of healthcare IT? What about on-demand movies and touch-screen computers and whizz-bang video games? When patients are laid up in hospital beds, don't they deserve to have a little fun while these new advancements in information technology are helping to keep them healthy?

Hospital computers for more than checking e-mail
Johnson City Press
The future of health care is written in ones and zeroes. Patients and clinicians alike have come to expect instant access to all kinds of digital information, so Johnson City’s newest hospital was built with connectivity in mind. It’s not uncommon in other hospitals to see visitors or even patients using laptop computers to stay connected with friends and family during an inpatient stay. Like most other facilities in the region, Franklin Woods Community Hospital will offer free wireless Internet connection for those folks, but the hospital has also taken patient connectivity several steps further.

GetWellNetwork offers hospital patients interactive care
The Washington Post

By Mike Musgrove, Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, April 10, 2010; A14

Does having educated and entertained hospital patients improve the odds of good health-care outcomes? Bethesda-based GetWellNetwork thinks so and is making that pitch with an interactive service designed to make hospital stays seem less isolating and confusing.

GetWellNet sells a service that delivers health information and other programming to patients through televisions in their hospital rooms. Patients use a wireless keyboard or handheld device to call up, for example, videos to learn more about their condition. By clicking another button, they can request that the bathroom be cleaned. Patients can watch a movie, play a game or even log on to the Web and check out their Facebook account.

Miami Children's Hospital helps children feel like they're home
Miami Herald

When Ben Silberman, 14, checked into Miami Children's Hospital recently, his beloved Xbox stayed home.

Still, he's been playing video games since he got there.

The Schenley Park hospital doesn't have an Xbox in patient's rooms -- not yet at least -- but it does have the next best thing: the GetWellNetwork, an interactive bedside system that helps patients and their families stay entertained and informed, through the use of a flat screen TV.
