Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, in partnership with HP, has developed a new real-time patient status system that uses data from electronic medical records to better represent patient status, replacing the handwritten whiteboards currently found in many hospital nursing units. The dashboard also improves compliance and is designed to be usable in other hospitals in the US and around the world. Packard Children’s staff worked with researchers from HP to apply the immense amount of data available inside a patient’s electronic chart. The new dashboard system uses red, yellow or green lights to signify the level of urgency with which attention is needed from medical staff to help prevent certain life-threatening complications in the intensive care unit.
