This collection contains 22 articles primarily about the use of whiteboards (aka dry-erase boards) in patients’ rooms. It includes articles even when the use of a board was briefly mentioned because it may include an idea for something to add to an existing board or provide ideas on how whiteboards have been used in bundles. An article on use of a goals’ worksheet posted near patients’ beds is included since it may be useful for coming up with ideas for what to add to the whiteboard since goals are usually on the board.

Here is one search technique that was used to find articles in PubMed: “white board” OR “white boards” OR “whiteboard” OR “whiteboards” OR dry-erase OR “dry erase” OR “goals worksheet” OR “goals worksheets”) AND (room OR rooms OR bedside) AND (patient OR patients) AND (nurse OR nurses OR nursing)
