There is a new hospital near Grand Rapids, Michigan, that has 37-inch displays in patient rooms that might have this capability in the future. I do not know who is responsible for this system:

“Each room is private, with windows, and offers a foldout couch for overnight guests, individual temperature and lighting adjustments and a 37-inch TV screen that can show any of 30 recently released movies. The video component also provides Internet access and a portal to view a person’s electronically stored medical records, even results from tests taken just the day before.”
