Polyglot Systems today announced it has joined the Greenway Health online Marketplace of value-added partners for users of Greenway’s integrated electronic health record (EHR) and practice management solutions. Polyglot’s flagship solution, Meducation, bridges the communication barriers between healthcare providers and their patients, by making patient-specific medication instructions engaging and easy to understand.
Being named a Marketplace approved partner signifies cooperative efforts between Polyglot and Greenway to provide comprehensive, mission-critical health IT solutions that support the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective care.
Meducation delivers patient-specific medication instructions that:
• Simplify information to a 5-8th grade reading level for patients with literacy issues
• Summarize patients’ complex medication regimens in a single page
• Encompass instructions for more than 2800 medications and 120,000 NDC codes
• Incorporate pictograms and on-line videos to clarify critical information
• Offer 5 font sizes, for the elderly or vision-impaired
• Present instructions in research-based, engaging and intuitive formats that reduce cognitive overload
• Are available in 19 languages for limited English proficient patients
With the integration into Greenway’s electronic health records platform, Meducation solutions can now be delivered to patients electronically or printed, without interrupting clinical workflow. By making individual patient instructions engaging and easy to understand, the result is improved healthcare and reduced costs.
