New Patient Education Platform Goes Live

On Monday, January 14, 2019, HMSL went live with the pilot of a new patient education platform that can be accessed within Epic. Patient education materials, both paper and video, will be accessible to the clinicians to provide to our patients. The education material provided will also be sent to the patient’s My Chart and be available after the patient is discharged. The videos links can be launched from any smart device. Education provided will be automatically documented in a note in Epic for the clinician. Patient education materials can be personalized to meet the individual needs of each patient.

Krames on FHIR is an innovative app for EHR users to deliver patient education at the point of care. Using SMART on FHIR technologies, this solution integrates seamlessly into your EHR and allows you to provide a bundle of educational tools based on the patient’s profile and current clinical encounter.

We are the first hospital/hospital system to use Krames on FHIR with Epic.
Advantages of using the Krames on FHIR system are:

  • Integrates with Epic
  • Suggests appropriate education based on patient diagnosis and history
  • Will automatically document the education you print and/or send to the patient’s MyChart in a note within Epic
  • Each user can tag favorite education tools for use with patients
