McGraw-Hill Professional, a division of McGraw-Hill Education, has announced that its premier online medical platform, AccessMedicine, now offers more than 7,000 downloadable patient monographs in nine languages through a partnership with RelayHealth. RelayHealth, McKesson's connectivity business, provides solutions to enable constituents across healthcare to exchange information securely and conveniently.
Physicians, hospitals, urgent care centers, and other users of AccessMedicine will now have available to them authoritative medical information to provide to patients at the point of care.
RelayHealth's materials bring significant expertise and depth of knowledge in patient education to AccessMedicine's wealth of content solutions. The monographs meet healthcare providers' needs to enhance patient education initiatives, help to engage patients, reinforce important health messages, facilitate open dialogue between patients and doctors, and ultimately improve patient safety and health outcomes. In addition to English and Spanish, the other languages offered are Chinese, French, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
Providing information on more than 7,000 health topics and medication products, these patient education handouts cover an extensive array of medical conditions, treatment options, and procedures in plain language to explain complicated topics to people who don't have a background in medicine.
RelayHealth's patient education materials have been written and reviewed by physicians and nurses from leading health institutions in the US. Topics are updated regularly with new findings and treatments, ensuring complete, accurate, and up-to-date information. The offerings are divided into customer-centric verticals such as: Adult Advisor, Pediatric Advisor, Medication Advisor, and Acute Care Advisor.
