Overview

Studies by AC Nielsen and a host of digital media trade groups have shown that offices with digital patient education systems in their waiting rooms have shorter perceived wait times.

Part of this is because of the engaging content, but another part is that there are no “change of shows” and scheduled commercial breaks which patients are used to when watching cable TV.

Patients have a heightened awareness of their health while they wait for their appointment. They are much more receptive to receiving information about:

Nutrition Counseling Diabetes Screenings Flu Shots Annual Physicals

Take this time to introduce these subjects to them. It helps them live healthier and increases your revenue.

Healthcare professionals are seen as a scary lot. You understand how the body works and the cause/effect relationship of patient lifestyle choices. This is intimidating.

By utilizing a digital patient education system to spotlight each team member, their background, their community involvement and any upcoming events, you are putting a human spin on them.

This increases compliance as people want to satisfy people they know, like, and respect.

Start introducing patients to the ancillary service providers that they may need after seeing you. Too many times, referrals are left to the patient to figure out and the patient tends to choose providers who are closest to home, not necessary the best ones to manage their health or are in network.

The system suggests providers who are in network and why that is important to the patient for continuity of care, medication management, electronic medical record updates, and more.

Daytime TV typically is filled with dramatic topics that are meant to illicit responses. The commercials are filled with “bad medical advice”- class

action lawsuits, self-diagnosis of diseases states, junk food, medical malpractice attorneys, and worse, commercials from competitors.

Digital Patient Education is meant to be neutral, non-controversial, fact giving content. It is sourced from credit resources like the AHRQ and other government associations. It does not create drama, but rather reduces stress.
