Information services provider Thomson Reuters, US, has expanded its Micromedex CareNotes patient education system to include coverage in 15 languages. Until now CareNotes was available only in English and Spanish. Customers will now have access to a core set of CareNotes and DrugNotes in Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French (Canadian), German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
Used by over 3,000 hospitals, the CareNotes System has been a leading source for complete and reliable patient education materials for more than 10 years. With this enhanced offering, CareNotes seeks to provide customers with translated patient education to meet the needs of over 80 percent of the US non-English speaking population.
Presented as fully customisable documents, CareNotes helps educate patients about their conditions, medications, laboratory tests, follow-up care, psychosocial issues, post-discharge care, and continuing health. By providing a single, trusted source for evidence-based patient education materials, CareNotes helps hospitals and health providers improve patient compliance with care plans, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes. CareNotes patient education content can be accessed online and can also be integrated within other electronic hospital and healthcare information systems.
