Lincata Introduces LincTV: A Revolutionary Tool for Enhancing Patient Care in Hospitals
Lincata Introduces LincTV to Revolutionize Patient Engagement
In a bold move to enhance the patient experience, Lincata has unveiled its latest innovation, LincTV, a novel plug-in device designed specifically for Epic's MyChart Bedside. The announcement was made on February 11, 2025, during a press release highlighting its capabilities in transforming standard hospital televisions into interactive digital hubs. The device is now available under the newly created "Bedside TV Hardware" category in Epic Toolbox.
A Game-Changer for Healthcare Facilities
LincTV is engineered to empower healthcare providers by facilitating the integration of Epic's MyChart Bedside into existing hospital TV setups. By doing so, it eliminates the necessity for costly hardware upgrades that many hospitals might have to consider otherwise. As stated by Tom White, CEO of Lincata, "LincTV is a purpose-built solution that allows Epic users to utilize current TVs effectively, thereby maximizing their existing infrastructure."
The device operates similarly to popular streaming devices, making it incredibly user-friendly. By connecting directly to an HDMI port, LincTV seamlessly integrates into the hospital's network, facilitating access to not only MyChart Bedside but also additional entertainment streaming services and applications relevant to patient care.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Patient Care
Equipped with multiple USB inputs, LincTV can connect to ancillary devices like cameras and microphones. This feature expands its functionality to include virtual nursing and real-time patient monitoring. It also supports advanced smart room technologies, enhancing overall patient engagement and experience.
"This device represents a game-changer for hospitals undertaking efforts to modernize patient experiences while maximizing their investment in Epic," noted Adam DeRocher, Chief Revenue Officer of Lincata. With its cost-effective solution, healthcare facilities can elevate ordinary television sets into interactive hubs, offering a spectrum of services designed to enhance patient care.
Local hosting of the LincTV software on clients' networks ensures that administrators can efficiently manage various aspects of the device, allowing them to impose restrictions, update applications, and clear sign-on credentials post discharge. This sophisticated level of management addresses a significant need within healthcare facilities to maintain a balance between patient privacy and operational efficiency.
Showcasing Innovation at ViVE 2025
Healthcare professionals and industry leaders can get an exclusive look at LincTV at the upcoming ViVE 2025 event, where Lincata will be showcasing this innovative solution at Booth #713. Attendees can see firsthand how LincTV is set to transform patient engagement in hospital settings.
