Product Capabilities

The Krames clinical content team does continuous review of standards in clinical literature, guidelines, and best practices to keep our content current. As we look to develop content and maintain our existing content library, we ensure clinical accuracy by our team working in conjunction with our in-house research director and together we continually monitor over 180 guideline associations; which include organizations like AWHONN, ACOG, American Academy of Pediatrics, CDC, NIH, American Diabetes Association, American Academy of Emergency Medicine, just to name a few. Based on review we update content to reflect current standards – at three levels: 1. The first level is “Proactive”: Where all content is reviewed on a 24-month cycle 2.The second level is “Responsive”: All relevant content is reviewed when we’ve identified a change in standards 3.The third and final level is “Emerging”/new research: This is the real-time creation of new content describing emerging clinical issues (e.g. COVID-19, Vaping, ZIKA) Our process for content review includes: - Health content, including interactive or self-management tools and multimedia content, has two external medical reviews. - Health content enters its “first” medical review two (2) months prior to the expiration of the last review date and the medical review process - two medical reviews, one editorial review, QA, and translation - may take several months to complete. Dates of medical reviews are tracked and stored in the Krames UCR. Certain diseases and conditions that have ongoing medical research and frequent updates to treatment guidelines are medically reviewed more often, as an off-cycle review, to remain current with emerging standards of care. - Content is updated immediately, as an off-cycle update, when significant new medical knowledge or change(s) in medical guidelines occur, and when content errors (not spelling or grammar) are identified. - Two medical reviews are performed on health content. At least one of the medical reviewers is an expert or specialist in the area pertaining to the disease, condition, or topic under review. - Experts or specialists in the area pertaining to the disease, condition, or topic under review consist of physicians, advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), physician assistants (PA), and other clinicians with a specialty focus on the specific subject matter. - Our in-house clinical team finalizes the medical review process by validating each content review to ensure consistency and accuracy across our library.

Mytonomy’s rigorous content creation process ensures high-quality, peer-reviewed information that enhances viewer engagement, comprehension, and retention and comes from a trusted source. Each step of our process is informed by members of our National Clinical Advisory Network, who play a vital role in developing reliable, up-to-date content that answers patients' most frequently asked questions. Our National Clinical Advisory Network includes licensed physicians, advanced practice providers, behavioral health providers, nurses, pharmacologists, and therapists in active clinical practice. They each bring expertise in the patient care continuum. Members of this Advisory Network include thought leaders from major academic institutions, researchers, and authors published in peer-reviewed journals. Our members are Subject Matter Experts in major therapeutic areas who ensure that our 2,500+ microlearning videos are current, accurate and relevant. Mytonomy’s content creation follows a proprietary five-step process that involves internal review with our clinical leadership team and external review with at least two clinical experts from our Advisory Network guiding each step.

Can assign and track content; was the video viewed or the handout displayed as a PDF? The content can be assigned via various EMR triggers. Mytonomy can write back the viewership of the assigned videos back to the EMR. All digital activity on the Mytonomy platform is timestamped. Beyond tracking, Mytonomy allows providers to reduce manual follow-up with rule-based reminders based on context. Personalized messages (cognizant of PHI considerations) are sent via email, SMS, or MyChart that remind the patient to complete their assigned content.

Our application is mobile-responsive and can integrate into your website, existing mobile app, or 3rd party EHR. Our data shows that patients watch multiple videos in a setting.
