X-Plain at the Bedside
With X-Plain at the Bedside, your hospital can deliver up to 2,500 videos through your bedside patient stations. This product runs on smart TVs, tablets, and CCTV systems. Many clients use diagnostic and procedural coding to automatically push patient-specific health topics to bedside smart TVs. Bedside systems that support interactivity can also document completion and comprehension of the videos/tutorials.
Where is X-Plain at the Bedside used?
X-Plain at the Bedside runs on patient stations that provide entertainment and education to patients and their caregivers. The most common setting is the hospital’s bedside TV or CCTV system.
How is X-Plain at the Bedside used?
Patient bedside stations can stream videos from a server. The nurse can select patient-specific educational videos for each patient. In more advanced bedside systems, the smart TV or tablet displays content based on the patient's medical record. Bedside patient stations often give patients a menu of activities where they can watch television, browse the Internet, or review patient education materials. When the patient selects the patient education option, general or patient-specific education appears. The patient can watch a video on the desired topic.
What hardware or software does this solution require?
This solution requires a patient bedside system. This could be a CCTV, a smart TV, or tablets on a cart. The Patient Education Institute does not sell hardware. A third party usually provides it. If you do not have the necessary TV network and don't want to invest in one, X-Plain for Tablets may be the right solution for you. Our tablet apps offer only patient education and do not include entertainment activities.
What topics are included?
Clients can select the topics they need. Some clients request a few topics about staying healthy at the hospital and avoiding infections. Others want a library of post-op titles or chronic disease management titles. We also offer more than 100 health promotion titles.
Do your patient education programs include questions?
Clients can select videos, tutorials, or both. Tutorials are interactive videos with questions and feedback. Some providers prefer tutorials because they document whether the patient has understood the presentation based on their responses to the questions. Videos require less user input, so patients who are very sick or tired may prefer them. Your bedside vendor can tell you whether your bedside TV system allows interactivity. You can also contact us if you have questions.
What languages are available?
The topics are available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.
How often is the content updated?
We review the content of each topic every two years. We update the content as needed in each educational format and all three languages.
Where is the content hosted, and are updates automatic?
The content can reside on hospital servers or on our own servers. Content updates are coordinated with the manager of the hospital bedside system. If the content resides on a hospital server, the manager of the bedside system will receive periodic updates. Clients occasionally want the content to reside on our servers. In this case, we provide automatic content updates.
Does X-Plain at the Bedside use or store private health information?
If you want to document that the patient completed and understood the educational programs, our tutorials can do that as long as your bedside system allows interactivity and documentation. Such data resides on the hospital's local servers or within the electronic medical record and not on X-Plain servers. Contact us or contact your hospital bedside technician or vendor if you have questions about this.
Can I customize the content with the name and logo of my healthcare institution?
Yes. We allow branding of X-Plain multimedia programs with the name and logo of the client. This feature depends on the bedside system. Contact us or contact your hospital bedside technician or vendor if you have questions about this.
Can I display textual materials on the bedside TV screen?
You can, as long as the bedside hardware or menu vendor offers this functionality.
Is this solution sold as a subscription?
Yes. Content updates and implementation assistance are included in the subscription. You can license selected topics, one or more medical specialties, or the entire library.
How long is the contract term?
The subscription is annual, and you can cancel at any time.
Can I try out the solution before buying it?
Yes, we offer a 30-day free trial. Please obtain approval from your hospital bedside technician or vendor before starting the free trial.
Is there a limit on usage?
No. There are no limitations on the number of users or sessions.
