X-Plain’s Advantages - What Makes Us Different?
It is easy for us to say that we have the most up-to-date and educational content and that we have the most flexible customer service; however, these claims are difficult for us to prove --except through testimonials of some of our clients. The following statements are, however, undisputed unique aspects of our products:
- We have the largest library of interactive multimedia software with more than 2100 tutorials and video presentations.
- Our tutorials are also unique in asking questions at critical points in the educational program in order to verify understanding, correct misconceptions, and engage the patient in active learning.
- We have the most meaningful documentation, because we document the patient’s completion of the assigned patient education program as well as his/her comprehension of it.
