Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced that its Lexicomp Integrated Patient Education solution has been integrated into EmmiEngage™, a patient engagement platform offered by Emmi™ Solutions. This integration will help foster patient's understanding of their medical care by allowing clinicians to direct patients to information on topics such as medications, conditions and procedures from beyond the point of care.
The Lexicomp Integrated Patient Education solution allows clinicians across the continuum of care to provide reliable information regarding medications, procedures, conditions, and healthy living as well as discharge instructions to patients and family members at the point of care through integration with their EMR/HIS or other healthcare applications.
To accommodate the needs of an institution's system, multiple delivery options are available, including HL7 InfoButton, APIs, web services, and flat files. By integrating this content into Emmi Solution's patient engagement platform, clinicians can direct their patients to this same content after they have left the close care of clinical staff, offering consistency of information and helping to improve patient retention of healthcare instructions.
