KLAS: Interactive Patient Systems

Interactive Patient System (IPS) solutions are meant for education and entertainment purposes in health settings and are usually provided on a patient’s in-room monitor. IPS is a growing segment of health care IT. IPS mainly includes TV screens installed primarily in hospitals, but they can be present in other in-patient settings as well. IPS is a part of patient care and uses TV screens for displaying important patient information like patient education, facility information, and other interactive prompts that keeps patients engaged. Some times IPS tools can also be deployed at the patient bedside to entertain patients.
