US-based patient education publisher Krames, part of MediMedia, has announced that its electronic patient education system, Krames On-Demand, has been selected by Montefiore Medical Center in New York City to enhance system-wide patient education. Montefiore is a 1,122-bed medical centre serving the 1.4 million residents of the Bronx, Westchester County and the surrounding area.
Krames On-Demand is a comprehensive patient education solution that delivers access to a database of content developed utilising Health Literacy Design Principles and featuring Krames signature art/text synergy designed to improve patient comprehension and self-care skills. The system features 5,600 titles, each available in English and Spanish. Krames On-Demand also has patient-oriented materials in three additional languages - Russian, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Also, it offers information on the 10 most common diagnoses in other languages including Armenian, Tagalog (Filipino language), Chinese, Farsi, Hmong, Korean and Vietnamese.
Montefiore's implementation includes the Krames Online patient education library that is available on the company's web site. Krames Online provides visitors to Montefiore's web site with access to the same type of information they would receive as a patient in one of Montefiore's facilities. The library is designed to help healthcare providers give consistent, credible, high quality, patient education across multiple consumer touch points.
