Patients at Florida Hospital Celebration Have the Digital World at their Fingertips - 1/25/06
Pyxis PatientStation® Revolutionizes Patient Experience
WHAT: For patients at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, digital online bedside services are literally at their fingertips, thanks to a new interactive information and entertainment system, called Pyxis PatientStation®. Now, folks being cared for at the hospital can swing a floor-mounted, 15-inch flat touch-screen panel wherever they desire and log on to the Internet, check e-mail, watch a video or TV, listen to the radio, learn about the hospital, play games, access patient education content, and get medical information. Patients can even create a CarePage, a personal, private Web page service available before, during, or after their hospital stay. After piloting the program in 20 beds, Florida Hospital Celebration Health is now installing the Pyxis PatientStation® in all 100 patient rooms throughout the hospital. On Wednesday January 25, Florida Hospital Celebration Health will hold a media open house, where reporters can demo the interactive consoles and speak with hospital representatives and patients using the technology about the benefits and capabilities of the consoles.
WHY: Instead of feeling cut off from the outside world, Pyxis PatientStation® allows patients to remain connected. The ability to access the Internet allows them to learn about their conditions and how to take care of themselves after they leave the hospital. The abundant entertainment options make the hospital stay more relaxing and comfortable. A video or computer game can be a pleasant distraction from pain, worry, or anxiety. In the future, Pyxis PatientStation® will also help physicians and nurses electronically access patients’ charts at the bedside, allowing them to spend more time with their patients.
