Example 2: ED e-Whiteboard

• Robert Wears’ example of a new electronic whiteboard in the ED: It displayed everything you’d want (each patient, the primary team, stage of movement through the ED, pending data, etc.)

• But, the computer console for the new electronic whiteboard was inconveniently located. The staff could not all look at the e-whiteboard and make immediate changes or notes.

• With the old one, people could physically interact with the board. (They could move names, add notes, and all could see and participate).
