Ways to use PlaySpace
A first IV
The child reads a short story and plays a practice game on the unit tablet before the procedure.
During the night shift
When a child wakes up frightened, the coping plan is available to whoever is on duty.
Going home
Families receive a plan for the first week at home, which eases the transition out of the hospital.
No. PlaySpace drafts notes, plans and summaries for teams in hospitals & inpatient to review. Nothing reaches a family or the record until a clinician approves it.
