Polyglot Systems’ “Meducation” Products Set to Deliver Real Results to the Healthcare Industry
Polyglot Systems offers several products for healthcare professionals called Meducation. Accountable care requires effective patient-healthcare provider communication which is hard for many patients with low health literacy and language barriers. The Meducation family of products is designed to improve medication adherence, hospital readmissions and medication errors. Polyglot Systems and Meducation are here to help the many people who have a hard time understanding healthcare professionals and their jargon.
According to statistics, one out of every three people in the United States has low health literacy, which is defined as the ability to gather, understand and then act on appropriate health information. Low health literacy has been determined to be a stronger indicator of health than age, income, employment status or race. Providing concise, easy to understand instructions, especially in the area of discharge, will prevent unnecessary readmissions. Meducation is a healthcare product for Doctors to help patients overcome health illiteracy. Visualizing patients’ medication adherence history and providing simple visual daily medication dosing schedules can drastically improve medication adherence.
This is where Polyglot Systems Meducaton comes into play. There are four Meducation products available including Meducation, Meducation RS, Meducation DC and TimeView. These healthcare products help patients understand treatments, follow schedules, and other instructions. It is like having a doctor or nurse around 24/7. Language appropriate communication between prescribers, consultant pharmacists and patients is so important because in the medical industry time is often a luxury that many do not have.
Meducation creates simple but personal medication information sheets that are designed to reduce medication errors.
Meducation RS provides a calendar that provides patients with an easy to follow schedule that many patients need.
MeducationDC allows you to create a custom, relevant and actionable written discharge instructions for your patient.
TimeView provides rapid visualization and clinical adherence intelligence for effective medication management strategies.
As long as there has been medical practices, there has been a need for careful communication. There has always been the need for doctors and nurses to be able to instruct patients in way that they can better understand. In addition, the Affordable Care Act has made the need for technologies that support the delivery of patient centered care more acute.
