AdvancedEducation (PM)

We are pleased to announce the new AdvancedEducation™ module. AdvancedEducation provides your practice with high value clinical health content and patient education information specific to each patient’s condition. Many documents are offered in a variety of languages, helping you to meet the needs of diverse patients. You can use AdvancedEducation to:

  • Search for and assign educational documents to patients while you are working in the patient chart
  • Keep a record in the patient’s chart of which documents they have received.
  • View assigned materials in the Patient Education screen in the patient chart.
  • Send materials to the Patient Portal so patients can view them.

AdvancedEducation is an add-on module. To order AdvancedEducation, contact Client Support Services.

“The money I have invested in AdvancedMD is miniscule compared to the return. I have never been more efficient – ever – in my professional life as I am now.”

“[Our] patients are very well-educated and well-informed, and they want to see results quickly. The practice has to run extremely efficiently and be accessible to them. The nice thing about [AdvancedMD] is it has allowed me to be more efficient both in and out of the office. Now I don’t have to come back into the office, which is great for my family and everything else. It saves me a lot of time – probably an hour a day on the three days I work in the second office.”
