GetWellNetwork, Inc., the leader in interactive patient care solutions, today announced it has been selected by Franklin Woods Community Hospital to provide patients with its bedside interactive learning tool. GetWellNetwork will enable real-time information from patients to their caregivers and will be used by nursing to prescribe patients with education content based on patients' health diagnosis. The GetWellNetwork system will also record patients' education completion or progress automatically into the hospital's Siemens Soarian® electronic medical record system to create a more efficient workflow.

"We're very excited to offer the GetWellNetwork interactive patient care system in our new hospital," said David Nicely, CEO of Franklin Woods Community Hospital. "Our goal is to provide exceptional care and empower patients to get involved in the health care process, which we believe will make a lasting impact in our patients' health. GetWellNetwork helps us engage patients from the moment they enter their rooms until the moment they are discharged."

Franklin Woods Community Hospital will focus initially on using the bedside solution for patient education, service recovery, and patient satisfaction initiatives. Each patient room will be equipped with a flat screen TV and the GetWellNetwork system, which patients can also use to surf the Web, watch recent Hollywood movies, stay connected to friends on Facebook, or listen to Pandora radio.
