SUMMARY While patient room design standards have resulted in more pleasant surroundings than in the past, the patient still relinquishes control over most choices during the inpatient stay. This study examines how implementing the Virtual Shelf (VS), a digital collection of patient-selected images, affects the patient experience. We assessed whether the VS could positively impact the patient’s sense of control, provide social support, and improve communications with healthcare staff. The protocol was tested in a bone marrow transplant unit of a major hospital. Results indicate this approach could be a valid tool—in conjunction with other tools such as music therapy, therapeutic television channels, massage, and spiritual counselling—to improve outcomes for patients, their families, and healthcare providers. The Virtual Shelf could be used in other extended stay healthcare settings.
