'It's Worth It': How OhioHealth is Using Smart Room Tech to Create a Better Environment
Interview with Cynthia Latney, senior vice president and Chief Nurse Executive at OhioHealth
HealthLeaders spoke to Cynthia Latney, senior vice president and CNE at OhioHealth, and HealthLeaders Exchange member, about the recently launched Pickerington Methodist Hospital, which is equipped with eVideon's Vibe Heath smart room platform. Cynthia describes the new virtual care model, powered by Vibe Health, which includes a TV, camera, and tablet system that allows patients to interact with their care team and vice versa. Since opening in December 2023, the smart room technology has lessened the bedside nurse's burden while providing more support to the care team, the patient, and to new graduate nurses.
