A Gateway to Better Informed Patients
Vigo's Answer for Patient Education and Communication
Today patients and their families are proactively seeking information about their illness and treatment options. This consumerism of the healthcare industry is well documented in an eye-opening study by Deloitte. In its 2008 Survey of Health Care Consumers, The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions sheds light on the ongoing transformation of patients into consumer activists and the significant implications this has for all stakeholders in healthcare.
The Vigo Interactive Patient Communication System delivers to the point of care the appropriate educational content about the patient's illness and treatment. The specific content can be prescribed by the care staff, or automatically delivered as part of the diagnosis.
The system's internet connection provides a means for the patient to browse online information sources.
This same appetite for information extends to their curiosity about the hospital facilities and their care team. Comprehensive information about the facility such as visiting hours, parking, floor plan, cafeteria hours is available at the patient's fingertips.
Biographic sketches of the patient's care staff can be presented as well to help nurture a more personal bond between patient, nurse and physician.
Using Vigo, the patient can provide immediate feedback by typing a message or completing a survey form.
