TriStar Skyline Medical Center is using technology to engage with patients during a visit to the emergency room. Patients and their visitors can now use a dedicated tablet for information, to provide real-time feedback or entertainment.

“Our new tablets allow patients to use a familiar technology to connect with our staff and relevant health information and resources while they are receiving care,” said Heather Stafford, director of emergency and cardiovascular services at TriStar Skyline.

The patient will have the capability to: provide real time feedback and reviews of their ER visit, receive information to make a physician appointment, read health content specific to their condition, access MyHealthOne patient portal, sign up for health insurance on the spot, and stay entertained by playing games.
