Building a Better Hospital Experience with Communication

The Impact of Our New Patient Boards

Thanks to the Grand Itasca Foundation's donation, every hospital room now features updated patient care boards. These boards share vital information about care plans, ensuring patients and families stay informed while facilitating better coordination among care teams. By enhancing communication, the boards boost patient safety, strengthen staff relationships, and improve the patient experience.

Bri Wagner, Director of the Grand Itasca Foundation, highlighted the importance of this initiative: "Improving our patient care boards was a key project for the Foundation. We believe they can significantly enhance patient safety, communication, and satisfaction, which is a win for patients, their families, and the staff."
