STM publisher Elsevier has announced that ExitCare, its enterprise-wide solution for evidence-based patient education and discharge instructions, is now integrated directly with the MEDITECH Electronic Health Record (EHR).
In collaboration with MEDITECH, ExitCare's library of content, organised by care setting and composed of both Easy to Read and Standard content, is available in English and Spanish through MEDITECH's EHR, via the Patient Discharge Instruction application. ExitCare's content is not only designed to offer healthcare providers an optimal user experience and more streamlined clinical workflow, but it is also intended to deliver relevant, condition-specific information to patients at the point of care.
Elsevier's ExitCare provides associated print, electronic and video patient education content and tools that are critical to increasing patient engagement and reducing readmissions. The solution also meets the emerging needs of both hospitals and office-based physicians who wish to provide a multimedia education experience for their patients. The ExitCare text-based content will also be fully accessible via MEDITECH's Patient & Consumer Health Portal offering, extending the integration benefits to wherever patients need it most.
ExitCare is also working closely with MEDITECH to bring customers ExitCare OnScreen, a video delivery system and content library for patient education. It is an engaging collection of multimedia programmes comprising digital video, interactive questions and animated graphics. Future integration within the MEDITECH platform will provide users the ability to launch ExitCare OnScreen and view reports directly from the MEDITECH application.
