Abstract
Patient education in a pediatric setting is unique. There are different patient ages, degrees of learning, and diagnoses to take into account when educating children and their families. A new and innovative trend in practice called Interactive Patient Care (IPC) integrates technology into care processes to advance pediatric nursing education and patient and family satisfaction. Children's Specialized Hospital is the first pediatric rehabilitation hospital to develop and implement this type of program using an IPC platform from the GetWellNetwork. With the implementation of the GetWellNetwork, Children's Specialized Hospital has achieved positive results in patient satisfaction, health care utilization, quality, and safety measures.
