Dean
Clinic Reinforces Commitment to Quality Patient Education
Dean
now offers interactive online programs for patients to learn more about their health
procedures and conditions
Dean is partnering with Emmi Solutions to provide patients with
easy-to-understand, easily accessible medical information. Emmi programs are
interactive, web-based presentations that guide patients through an animated
overview of medical information to help them prepare for a procedure or manage
a chronic condition.
After a Dean physician prescribes a patient a confidential access
code, the patient can then share the programs with family members and friends as
desired. The programs are available in
English, with many available in Spanish.
“One of the most important things physicians can do to engage patients
is to ensure they truly understand their disease or injury and the treatment
options available to them,” said Larry Elfman, MD, Dean Clinic Pediatrician and
Medical Informatics. “We believe that by using Emmi programs, patients will boost
both their knowledge and confidence level.”
Emmi programs educate patients about specific medical conditions,
the risks and benefits of treatment, and what to expect before, during and
after a procedure. The programs use a
unique multimedia approach and conversational voice to make complex medical
information easy to understand for patients and their families, and can be
accessed from any computer or mobile device with internet access.
If you would like to view any of our
80 Emmi programs, they are available to you at
