KEY TAKEAWAYS
OhioHealth launched the Pickerington Methodist Hospital, which has smart room technology, at the end of 2023.
The virtual care model includes a TV, camera, and tablet system that allows patients to interact with their care team and vice versa.
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.
