From Vision to Reality: Bringing Smart Room Innovation to Life

Lee Health was driven by a clear goal: to improve how patients, families, and care teams stay connected throughout the hospital experience. By providing more accessible and up-to-date information at the bedside, Lee Health sought to support informed, engaged participation in care, starting with Golisano Children’s Hospital. This approach is especially meaningful in the NICU, where families may stay connected to the care team for an extended time while balancing responsibilities both inside and outside the hospital. Read the case study to learn how TigerConnect Smart Room turned Lee Health’s vision into a ‘Room of the Future,’ returning nearly 12,500 nursing hours annually — time that can be redirected from administrative tasks back to patients and families.

“The digital whiteboards have provided benefits for our care teams, our Information Services team, and the families we serve. By incorporating information from the electronic health record, we’ve been able to streamline workflows and improve access to important care information. It’s been a valuable tool for supporting communication and engagement throught the patient experience.”
