E|Z Word Board - Spanish by E|Z Board

This is the first and only evidence-based, patient-designed Picture Communication Board for patients unable to speak. We designed and tailored this communication board to reflect one-on-one patient interaction along with 3 years of research with non-verbal patients. Two-sided dry-erase board, 17 x 11" individually shrink-wrapped with a dry-erase marker. As patient advocates on the issue of patient communication, we want to empower you with all the necessary resources to help your organization achieve the best outcomes for your patients. Our work stems from the core motivation that was drawn from one of our members' nursing practice that observed two lung-transplant patients completely withdraw over a period of a few months from being unable to communicate on a ventilator. Without being able to write legibly or communicate effectively using other means, their withdrawal became unrecoverable. This was before the E|Z Board. From this discovery, we conducted a two-year research study which allowed us to design a communication board that met the needs of patients who could not speak. A research agenda was launched throughout the healthcare community and multiple studies on an international scale have examined the EZ Board and we have adapted the product to meet ongoing research findings and patient preferences to the the board you see today. Our goal is to prevent this withdraw, to empower patients to participate with their care, to empower and encourage nursing staff to be able to achieve and maintain the same therapeutic relationships with patients who cannot speak as they can with patients who can speak. We encourage you to implement our EZ Boards into your everyday patient care. By improving patient satisfaction, improving patient outcomes we are certain your institution will achieve cost-savings benefits that justify this change in practice.
