Giving Nurses Time Back
Description
HCA Vision is a tvOS app which lives inside a patient room that enables users to view medical records, order food to their room, watch movies and more.
Context
HCA Healthcare is one of the largest healthcare providers in the nation. We piloted an app that automated many parts of a nurses job so they could spend more time at the patient bedside.
Outcome
Successful pilot launched
Approved multi-hospital expansion
Showing a patient's schedule and care staff on their homescreen reduced the need for them to call a nurse to their room to remind them.
Patients could view how their vitals change in real time as they're being treated. Clinicians could then reference the data on screen when chatting with patients.
Patients used to make menu changes with their nurses. Now they could plan ahead and handle everything on their own within HCA Vision.
Based on their treatment, some patients had mandatory educational videos they needed to watch before discharge. The hospital would previously bring around a portable DVD player.
