myUCLAhealth Bedside is a patient-facing, tablet-based app that provides patients with information and tools to help engage them more directly in their own healthcare. The app is available for patients admitted to an inpatient unit at UCLA Health during their hospitalization.
Among the features available via Bedside:
- To Learn: Teaching materials assigned via the CareConnect Education activity, viewable on the iPad and via myUCLAhealth after discharge
- My Health: Real-time vital signs and lab test results
- Taking Care of Me: Names, photos, and role descriptions of everyone on the care team
- Happening Soon: scheduled meds, lab draws, and procedures scheduled in CareConnect.
- myUCLAhealth: Patients can sign up or access myUCLAhealth directly from Bedside.
The app can be downloaded to the patient’s own iPad or Android tablet, or they can use the iPad provided in patient rooms. Additionally, patients with an active myUCLAhealth account will be able to review this information after discharge by accessing their online account.
Please invite all alert and oriented patients to participate in Bedside.
