She answers the question: what is the most interesting patient-facing innovation you are working on today?

Susan Murphy: In high-tech environments like hospitals, it is important for nurses, physicians, and other care team members to have high-touch moments with patients and families. To create these moments, we use many methods of engagement, including innovative technology. Among the human-centered innovations we use is a mobile rounding solution with sentiment analysis that helps nurse leaders proactively capture, address and track patient and family feedback in real-time. Mobile rounding is one of many patient-facing innovations within our Patient Experience and Engagement Program. We place a premium on building trusted relationships with our patients and empower them to share their voices and make shared decisions about their care plans.
