With wired.MD®, Cognecy offers a series of solutions for all types of hospitals from small acute care facilities to significant 500+ bed multi-specialty facilities. The right solution for a hospital is usually dependent on three differing criteria including initiatives, platforms and budget. These three criteria are always key as they answer the questions of what are the organization's patient education goals? What ways can the organization deliver patient education? What patient education can the organization afford to implement now?

Most hospitals or hospital networks have interest in implementing a patient education system that allows them to educate more of their patients, to provide education before, during and after encounters, to increase patient compliance and satisfaction, to garner greater JCAHO scores and to save time via workflow efficiencies. wired.MD's mission is to help hospitals meet any or all of these initiatives with the streaMed® product suite.

Hospitals also often have varying platforms independently and within a facility or network of facilities. These four main platforms for educating patients include computer systems/intranets, closed-circuit television systems, websites/portals and traditional TV/DVD players. Each platform is another avenue for a hospital to educate patients with greater effectiveness and/or efficiency. The streaMed product suite includes the following solutions for each of these platforms within a hospital or hospital systems:

streaMed - Hospital - Provides web-based health videos, handouts and websites for computer systems/intranets and kiosks. This is the most ubiquitous solution as it provides the entire video, handout, animation library and peer-reviewed database of health websites from wired.MD. streaMed is for use both on computers and kiosks in the library and resource center and on patients' home computers.

streaMed CCTV™ - Provides pre-digitized health videos for closed-circuit television systems. This solution is often coupled with streaMed as it provides the most key acute care diagnosis, procedural and treatment plan videos for the hospital to patients' bedside via enabled televisions.

streaMed Website™ - Provides integrated health videos and handouts for corporate websites. Hospitals often utilize this solution in conjunction with streaMed to help educate patients and site visitors on seasonal conditions, preventive health topics and procedural preparation via the hospital website.

streaMed DVD™ - Provides customized health video sets for individual dvd players. Hospitals use this solution as an initial introductory option to educate patients in resource centers, medical/lending libraries and in settings where the existing hardware at the hospital is a TV/DVD player.
