Kiosk brings health info to Durham area public
January 29, 2008

NBC 17 (Durham, N.C.): It sits quietly against the wall in Durham Regional Hospitals' Emergency Department. There are no flashing lights, just an invitation to touch the screen for health information. DERICK is an acronym for "Distributed eHealth Resource Information Center Kiosk." A long name, but what it does is provide personalized information about health risks and access to care. It is part of Duke University Medical Center's population health management effort, which uses technology to improve health and wellness in the community.
