Patient education resources

Patient education technology includes digital tools like interactive TVs, mobile apps, and patient portals that use engaging formats to deliver condition-specific education, medication information, and post-discharge instructions.

When integrated with your EHR, patient education technology can automate assignments, track comprehension, support better outcomes, and improve transitions of care.

Patient education can be delivered through in-room technologies like interactive TVs and mobile apps that use written, audio, and visual formats to deliver condition-specific education, medication information, and post-discharge care plan instructions.

With interactive patient engagement vendors like SONIFI Health, a hospital’s EHR and education systems can be integrated with the in-room technology to create an automated, seamless delivery experience.

SONIFI Health integrates a hospital’s TV, EHR, and video education systems so that clinicians can auto-assign the most engaging education to each patient based on their condition and demographics.

Automatic reminders to watch videos boosts completion rates, and comprehension surveys help gauge each patient’s understanding.

Progress is automatically charted back into the patient’s EHR for your clinical team to review and follow up as needed.

Periodically, have your team audit your education to make sure content is standardized across verbal instructions, printed materials, videos, and digital resources to help ensure patients receive clear and consistent guidance.

One way to reduce nurse burden when it comes to patient education is to incorporate video education on interactive TVs in patient rooms.

Then, work with your patient engagement vendor to integrate with your clinical workflows to create a pathway that automatically assigns patient education from the EHR, prompts patients to watch their education, charts back completions, and triggers follow-up workflows as needed.

This eliminates redundant manual tasks and automates repetitive tasks, saving your nurses valuable time.
