Product Capabilities

pCare delivers patient education from the leading content providers (Krames, Healthwise, WedMD, Health Nuts, Elsevier) whose content is kept up to date and reviewed.

With ingeterations in place, pCare tracks when content is accessed, completed, along with answere to learning verification questions - all of which can be ported back to an EHR via results message. Additionally, all de-identified transaction data is saved in our system for reporting and can be made available back to clients via data exports.

Patients can interact with the pCare system via a pillow speaker, tablet, or personal device paired to our system. On Screen Displays alert the patient to view education in preparation for discharge as well as present surveys patients complete in order to give staff a pulse check on an admission. Patients can further interact with the system by answering learning verification questions, placing service quests, ordering meds to beds, ordering meals, and managing room temperature and lighting controls.

pCare CareFlows are triggered by both EHR data and interactions with our system to guide the patient during an admission. Available CareFlows include Discharge Planning, Falls Prevention, Infection Control, and Pain Management.

Navigating the system is as easy as using a television remote and it can be done via a person device. The content presented is from validated patient education publishers whose content is not only scientifically accurate but created in accordance with health literacy design priciples. In addition to providing content in multiple languages, our VideoConnect telepresence solution include Language Connect which facilitates 1-click access to video translation services.

pCare intergrates with leading EHR systems which enables prescription and documentation of education transactions. CareFlows further automate the process by dosing information over the duration of an admission.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

None provided

Differentiators vs Competitors:

The Care Team has access to the video content watched by their patients, which enables them to send timely reminders to complete their viewing. The MediaCare Dashboard also offers reporting on aggregated or individual content use.

With a centrally managed content system that includes digital video content, it’s possible to reduce costs by as much as 35-40% in total print volume. That can mean a ~30% reduction or more in toner and ink costs. That adds up, since a large hospital system prints as much as eight million pages per year at a cost of approximately $3.8 million.

Interactive, digital learning helps healthcare providers reduce unnecessary costs, saves staff time and reduces readmissions or sentinel events.
