Houston Methodist is implementing strategies to enhance patient agency and engagement in healthcare by improving access to information. Recognizing that empowered patients have better recovery outcomes, the hospital has integrated the MyChart Bedside portal into in-room smart televisions. This allows patients to readily access their medical records and care team information in real time, reducing anxiety and fostering transparency. The system also facilitates personalized patient education, enabling clinicians to assign tailored content and confirm patient understanding, thus improving both comprehension and nursing efficiency.
