FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2017:<\/strong> T Jeanine Spencer and Sue Porter met with the Stony Brook Child Life team and discussed the children\u2019s reactions to the consoles and games. Their IT team presented a conceptual design for an improved method for mounting the consoles in patient rooms, including a stand for mounting the controller while it\u2019s being charged. The backdrop design is in keeping with the aquatic d\u00e9cor that will be used throughout the new hospital building. Child Life and IT will review user account management options to determine which best meets their needs before we deliver additional consoles.<\/p>\n
