Patient Education
Improve care and retention with easy-to-deliver and easy-to-understand patient education.
Patient education & applications
Many physicians and other health educators are recognizing that certain patient populations are lacking in their inability to understand healthcare information and what they need to do with that information. There is a growing number of patients that are increasing ownership and taking a more a proactive role in their own healthcare.
We believe all patients should have excellent access to educational resources that are easily understood and timely. This is why we created a highly comprehensive patient engagement suite and we can help all your patients improve their health outcomes and your operational efficiencies.
Patient education technologies help you deliver more than just better health outcomes.

9 tips to a successful patient education program
- Increase responsibilities of health educators as champions of your education program and build a culture of patient education across your entire practice.
- Educate patients starting from the first encounter using tools such as text, email and voice appointment reminders.
- Listen to the patient and learn about their knowledge. Use education to supplement their awareness and correct any misinformation.
- Speak human (or is that humanly?). Utilize visual aids, 3D models and imagery as often as possible.
- Question patient understanding of their care, listen, learn and use a variety of highly-relevant resources at each step of their progress.
- Roleplay with patients. Have patients explain their diseases or treatments in the way they would to loved ones.
- Medication adherence starts with understanding. Make sure patients can repeat back to you how and when to refill medications. Ensure patients can recognize signs and symptoms of their condition that will require immediate attention and what to do if a problem arises.
- Use a patient portal for patient messaging and offer as much assistance as possible.
- Call patients (yes, on the phone) to check on their progress and experience with your educational resources.
