Q2: With my neighbors Mom, she could not speak loud enough for the call system in Hosp. It could have been improved w/ a camera to SEE her, or a better more accurate call sys, even CHECKING IN on her. #PatientsHavePower #WTFix

A3: Ive also heard of "online rounding" for new parents or parents of infants in the NICU. If the parent goes home to catch a few hrs of sleep, they can log into the MD's rounds at any time #patientshavepower #WTFix
