COMPLETE PATIENT EDUCATION
TECNOLOGY: IMPROVE ENGAGEMENT & ENHANCE
EXPERIENCES
As patients become more selective about where they seek care, healthcare facilities are constantly looking for ways to increase patient loyalty—and one key way to attract, engage, and satisfy patients is through efficient, user-friendly, quality hospital patient education solutions. That’s exactly what MDM Commercial offers healthcare providers with its Journey PX Patient Experience Solution that’s distributed via in-room television, personal email, and/or text–and can be viewed in the hospital, at a clinic, or at home.

Challenges for patient
And families
Hospital stays can be a stressful experience for patients and their families as they try to understand relevant health conditions and treatment options. One of the goals of your healthcare teams is to help make each stay as comfortable as possible—helping patients and their loved ones understand what’s going on, health-wise, can reduce levels of stress.
A percentage of patients are fine with a brief verbal explanation but, for many others, they want and need more in-depth knowledge about their condition and treatment plan. Busy doctors can struggle to find enough time to provide all the information that these patients desire and this can lead some patients to frantically search on Google for the answers to their healthcare questions. This can create misunderstandings, affect the patient’s decision-making abilities, and add to their stress levels.
Education is Key
The solution, overall, is quality education about the health conditions and treatment options. As a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study notes, “Patients must have a deep understanding of the impact healthy interventions can have on their present and long-term health.” In other words, they need to have appropriate education to develop what NIH calls “patient health literacy.”
When patient health literacy is developed, there are “documented improvements” in a patient’s ability to manage “goals, tasks, and challenges regarding one's health. Clinical benefits have been seen in trials of lifestyle intervention within a wide range of conditions such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and rheumatoid arthritis.”
NIH also makes the following statement: “Critical to any educational process is time.” When physician time is limited (and, really, when isn’t that the case?), we’d like to suggest that quality hospital patient education technology can be the health literacy solution that satisfies patients, helps them to manage their conditions and make appropriate decisions, and builds loyalty for your facilities. That solution is called Journey PX.
