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.

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.
