Improving Patient Communication often leads to improved healthcare

I recently ran across Emmi Solutions (www.emmisolutions.com), which I was fascinated to learn was co-founded by a surgeon and a computer game designer (not exactly a common combo). What I liked about Emmi was that it facilitates physician-patient communication by providing “prescription-strength” multimedia programs to help patients understand what to expect before, during, and after a surgical or invasive medical procedure. As most of us who’ve been in this industry for a while intuitively get, the more a patient knows and understands about their care providers, their diagnoses, and their procedures, the better the patient’s overall health is likely to be.
