Most hospitals have multiple sources of patient information or records, and these can be aggregated together by My CareBoard to give nurses and clinicians a complete view of the relevant information they need to deliver the best care.

They don’t just cut down on staff legwork – an instant video consultation can significantly reduce patient stress by providing a fast answer to questions or to relay updates quickly. They are not meant as a replacement for face-to-face care or for serious discussions, but do provide a useful efficiency boost for care teams.
Next steps
My CareBoard has been designed to deliver an experience that patients can appreciate at a difficult time in their lives. Negative emotions such as loneliness, boredom, and helplessness can lead a patient’s mind to focus on discomfort or pain, which have a detrimental impact on their wellbeing and recovery. Good care must treat the mind as well as the body, so developing an engagement strategy that goes beyond a room TV must be part of a modern hospital’s patient toolkit.
As the leading patient experience company, we can help.
