Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to review the literature on electronic whiteboards and identify the processes, techniques, methods, practices, tools and difficulties for the implementation of this new technology in hospitals. Methods: Systematic searches of relevant bibliographic databases identified studies about electronic whiteboards adoption by healthcare professionals. Two hundred forty nine (249) papers were collected, twenty seven (27) were selected for full reading. Results: Positive and negative effects on the use of the electronic whiteboard were diagnosed. This review allowed to highlight issues regarding design, technical concerns and how whiteboard system works. Conclusion: The knowledge obtained by the study of previous work allowed the identification of practices that could effectively promote the successful adoption of electronic whiteboards. Perception of the benefits was the most common facilitating factor, followed by the changes in the work performed in hospitals. Issues regarding familiarity with information e communication technologies were limiting factors identified.
