GetWellNetwork®, Inc., the Precision EngagementTM health care company, has added Elsevier educational videos to its library of health education content, currently the largest in the Interactive Patient CareTM industry. The joint announcement was made at the Next Generation Patient Experience (NGPX) Conference (Nov. 28-30 in San Diego, Calif). GetWellNetwork will distribute Elsevier videos to healthcare providers and their patients through its cross-continuum engagement platform, which educates and empowers patients across all care settings.
Hospitals today supply patient education through printed materials, primarily, even though research shows that visual information is more likely to be understood and remembered. In a recent Elsevier survey, a majority of respondents from health systems indicated they plan to broaden their patient engagement offerings to include video in the next 12 months. Better educated patients drive better doctor-patient communication and reduced readmissions.
Elsevier is an information analytics business specializing in science and health. Elsevier's Patient Engagement Solutions include a corpus of actionable, multimedia information and tools tailored for patients and their family caregivers. It has a library of more than 1,000 short, engaging and powerful videos. GetWellNetwork will offer these educational videos through The Patient's Platform™, a comprehensive suite of patient engagement solutions, clinician tools and success strategies.
GetWellNetwork provides patients with relevant information on nearly every service line, diagnosis and procedure. Its collaboration with Elsevier makes it easier for health systems to take advantage of best-in-class patient education and delivery systems that engage patients and support providers. Patient-provided feedback through GetWellNetwork solutions will inform Elsevier on ordering habits, video consumption and patient ratings, enabling both organisations to continually enhance their offerings and create more personalised patient and family experiences.
Deploying Elsevier videos through GetWellNetwork ensures high levels of utilisation and a positive patient experience, and makes it possible to deliver greater standardisation with clinical content. GetWellNetwork will distribute Elsevier content beginning immediately.
