NHS National Rehabilitation Centre Introduces Intelligent Bedside Terminals
The NHS National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) is set to revolutionise patient care with the deployment of intelligent bedside terminals, provided by Airwave Healthcare [1][2][3]. These iPad-based devices are designed to enhance patient independence and engagement during recovery.
These innovative terminals are not just in-room entertainment systems. They are integrated with the centre’s building management and care systems, allowing patients to control various aspects of their environment directly from their bedside [1][3][5]. This includes adjusting blinds, controlling lighting, and modifying heating settings, which can greatly benefit patients with limited mobility and life-changing injuries by promoting independence throughout their rehabilitation process.
Dean Moody, healthcare services director at Airwave Healthcare, underscores the importance of technology that stimulates and engages patients in their care for enhancing recovery [6]. The intelligent bedside terminals will offer more than entertainment services. They will be integrated into the NRC's systems, providing patients with live access to their electronic patient records [4]. This means patients can check their discharge date, medications, diet, care teams, and other relevant insights at any time.
In addition, educational content relevant to each individual's rehabilitation will be made available through the intelligent bedside terminals [4]. Patients will also be able to order meals directly and video call friends and loved ones from these devices [3].
Airwave Healthcare is committed to collaborating with healthcare professionals to understand changing needs and innovate in response throughout the agreement [7]. The selection of Airwave Healthcare was based on factors such as cost and their extensive experience supporting providers in the NHS [8].
Moody expressed that it is a privilege to support the NRC, a strong example of excellence in rehabilitation transformation [9]. The innovative approach at the NRC, including the use of intelligent bedside terminals, is expected to be a game-changer for patients and rehabilitation as a whole.
