Parental perceptions of displayed patient data in a PICU: an example of unintentional empowerment.
The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of parents of pediatric patients in a PICU regarding real-time open electronic health record data displayed in patient rooms. The investigators suggest that a new health information technology system providing continuous access to open electronic health record data may be an effective way to empower and engage parents in the PICU, but also note potential drawbacks.

Nurse, patient, and care partner perceptions of a personalized safety plan screensaver.
A patient safety plan dashboard was developed that captures disparate data from the electronic health record that is then displayed as a personalized bedside screensaver. End user perceptions of the content and interface of the personalized safety plan screensavers were identified and strategies to overcome the barriers to use for future iterations were defined. Differences emerged stemming from each group of end users' role on the care team.

Identifying unmet informational needs in the inpatient setting to increase patient and caregiver engagement in the context of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The researchers conducted field observations and semi-structured interviews of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) caregivers and patients to identify informational challenges in the inpatient hospital setting. Theyn concluded that pediatric HSCT caregivers and patients have multiple informational needs that could be met with a health information technology system that integrates data from several sources, including electronic health records. Meeting these needs could reduce patients' and caregivers' anxiety surrounding the care process.
