Sharing Meaningful Medical Content

Face it, our patients forget nearly 80% or more of what we tell them after they leave our office.  We may have shared some very valuable tidbits of information or post-surgical instructions with them … and when they return to the office we may be disappointed that they didn’t do what we asked of them. 

Perhaps it was our fault….. ?  

How can we meaningfully share information with patients and give them a resource so that they can then review that informmation…

  • At a time of their choosing
  •  On their chosen reader 
  • Mobile platform 
  • Or one of your social media properties?

Enter Readlists…  

What’s a Readlist? A group of web pages—articles, recipes, course materials, anything—bundled into an e-book you can send to your Kindle, iPad, or iPhone

    Great idea, Howard!

    How do you envision integrating this into patient flow in the office?

    I have my own ideas – maybe others can share, too.

    Are you stratifying your patients by collecting email addresses, whether they have Kindles, etc.?
