What good are patient education leaflets if patients can't read them?

Does your EHR or patient portal include patient education pamphlets? If so, how confident are you that patients receiving the materials get the information they need? For many patients, the problem may be as basic as not understanding the language that the documents are written in.

Lexicomp is a recognized leader in patient education. Their leaflets are used in over a thousand hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Not only are the leaflets available in 19 common languages, but they are tailored specifically to adult and pediatric patients as well. There can be huge differences in dosing, warnings, and possible adverse drug events among these populations.

Lexicomp's patient education is available for integration into a wide variety of systems -- including EHRs, EMRs, HIS systems, ePrescribing systems, patient portals, consumer websites, PMSs, and more. Contact them today using the links on this page for more information!
