Salt Lake City-Ogden, UT (1888PressRelease)
January 13, 2009 - Dr. T. Randy Hansen of Central Utah Bariatrics was introduced to Info-Surge at a recent bariatric conference in Florida. Tom Minero, regional sales representative for Info-Surge, followed-up with Dr. Hansen and presented the benefits of the Info-Surge online education program. These include risk reduction, enhanced patient care, improved marketing, and lower patient education costs. Dr. Hansen purchased a package custom designed to add to his practice’s online presence and provide thorough, consistent educational information for his patients.
Minero said, “Dr. Hansen found Info-Surge to be more customizable and flexible than other product offerings he had looked into. It will save him a tremendous amount of time on patient intake, consultation, and education.”
The Info-Surge web-based education system is an extremely effective marketing tool for rural practices like Central Utah Bariatrics. Once patients arrive at the physician’s website, they simply log on to the system and review informative, accurate, patient-friendly materials to educate themselves about the procedures they are interested in. The practice can then easily retrieve patient log in data to follow up with a phone call or email. Patients, who often must travel long distances to reach medical facilities in rural areas, save an incredible amount of time and travel expenses by reviewing educational modules and filling out paperwork online before ever visiting the physician’s office. After this intake and education process, patients are well informed and face-to-face consultations are more productive and specific to each patient’s needs.
Info-Surge’s provides a standard library of multimedia courses, as well as non-generic modules that are fully customized for each health care facility and procedure, include easy-to-understand content for all levels of health literacy, 3-D images & animations, consistent, up-to-date educational messages, friendly narration, and quizzes to test comprehension. These features help to increase patient understanding and retention.
