- Abstract
The article describes a case study conducted from March to August 2008 involving the placement of whiteboards in 3 inpatient wards in a university-affiliated regional teaching hospital and in a day clinic in the Queensland health service district in Australia and aimed to describe the integration of white boards in ward routines. The findings showed that using whiteboards have the capacity to promote teamwork and accountability specially in the context of information sharing. The need for a planned approach and issues relating to their use are noted.
