Abstract
This thesis investigates how pediatric hospitals use and potentially market interactive original programming. More specifically, the research problems regarding selling pediatric interactive original television content included lack of closed-circuit capabilities in some pediatric hospitals, competition for original programming and lack of online presence for programming. Using both qualitative and quantitative and participant observer approaches, the study revealed correlations among variables regarding in-patient interactive entertainment. By researching 167 pediatric hospitals throughout the United States, research showed the importance of positive patient experience in pediatric hospitals, the arts' effect on patient experience and pediatric interactive original programming encourages self-expression and creativity to children in isolation.
