Evidence-Based Medical Content We rely on quality medical and academic research, healthcare best practices, and recommendations from medical experts when developing our written materials. At least one member of the Medical Advisory Board collaborates with our writers to ensure that each title in the X-Plain® library meets national guidelines and standards of care for evidence-based medicine. Unbiased Health Information Health information is most useful when it puts the patient’s needs first. This guiding principle ensures that any discussion about treatment options is free of advertising and other forms of bias.

Many clients use diagnostic and procedural coding to automatically push patient-specific health topics to bedside smart TVs. Bedside systems that support interactivity can also document patient completion and comprehension of our videos and tutorials.

Interactive Tutorials X-Plain tutorials are self-paced, interactive learning tools. The programs feature animations, illustrations, and large text to engage the viewer, as well as on-screen prompts and interactive questions with corrective feedback to ensure understanding. Videos X-Plain videos are multimedia presentations that are designed to educate patients and improve health outcomes while saving staff time. The videos are self-playing versions of the interactive tutorials. Illustrated Handouts Illustrated handouts present comprehensive information on a health topic through text and illustrations. The handouts use large fonts, short paragraphs and are balanced with white space so that they are easy to read and understand.
