The streaMed™ Patient Education Solution provides supplemental new media patient education videos, prescribed by the healthcare provider to the patient at the point of care and beyond. streaMed may be used within a patient education resource center, a medical library, an exam room, a waiting room, and a patient’s home to educate patients on diagnoses, treatment plans and procedures in the most effective and engaging format.

streaMed Version 4.1 includes 365 patient and consumer health videos, some of which are in 8 languages, as well as 1390 associated text handouts, 795 in English, 565 in Spanish, 25 in Polish and 5 in Japanese for use at the point of care and beyond. streaMed Version 4.1 also now includes 25 medical animations as well as 320 peer-reviewed health websites as additional resources for providers and patients.

The key benefits of utilizing streaMed include:

Lighten your workload.
streaMed saves time for healthcare providers who currently deliver patient educational information in person. With streaMed, you can handle other tasks while patients receive specific, pertinent educational information. streaMed takes basic, repetitive educational explanations off your hands, so you can focus on answering informed questions and other reimbursable tasks.

Streamline your clinical workflow.
Patients can view videos in the resource center, library, exam room or waiting room, before, during or after the visit. You or your staff can be present while they watch, or you can be free for other tasks.

Take patient education beyond the point of care.
After viewing the education information, patients receive a printed transcript, plus a personal Information Prescription™ with access to your customized website. Patients can visit this site from home or from any Internet-connected computer to review the material, share it with their families, and use it to prepare for their next office visit.

Improve compliance and outcomes.
streaMed's innovative new media approach is far more dynamic and engaging than printed handouts. Studies show that a combination of audio/visual learning conventions is a highly effective method of delivering patient educational information. streaMed can enhance information retention, increase compliance with treatment plans, lower anxiety levels, and increase preparedness for procedures.

Increase patient satisfaction.
Patients know that healthcare providers and organizations who use streaMed are innovative and dedicated to providing a premium level of service. The streaMed Kiosk Site and Patient Site can both be customized with your organization's logo, photos, color schemes and contact information providing a personalized web presence which further enhances quality of service. The website also features feedback questionnaires, providing vital data to improve the healthcare experience even more.

Provide authoritative and comprehensive information.
streaMed features 365 industry-approved videos for various specialties and areas of focus, with the most popular ones in up to eight languages. New content is available on an ongoing basis.

Use existing technology.
streaMed requires only an Internet connection, plus Internet Explorer and the QuickTime or RealPlayer plugin. If you already have a Internet connected workstation, laptop, or tablet device in the organization, no new hardware or networking is required.
