How hospitals and doctors are using video to help patients.
Doctors and hosptials are finding new ways to improve the understanding of patients about particular issues and procedures.
Before patients come into the hospital for surgery they can become acquainted with the procedures and policies in the comfort of their own home. Patients can listen at their own pace, take notes and look up frequently asked questions.
When a patient is faced with a lot of paperwork all at once and is overwhelmed with the admitting process, it is sometimes hard to get all the information that they need. A video that helps them to better understand the hospital, the doctor and the procedure can reassure as well as serve as a reminder.
There is also the opportunity to use video as a reminder after a hospital stay. There is often confusion about what to do, how often and how to do it. Video can take the guesswork out and help allay concerns, cutting down on anxiety for the patient.
Video can reinforce good patient behavior and discourage incorrect post operative (procedure) care.
If your hospital or practice isn't making use of video today, you'll be surprised at how valuable a tool it can be for you and your patients.
