X-Plain ENT for Tablets

X-Plain ENT Patient Education for Tablets

Traditional methods of ear, nose & throat (ENT) patient education just aren’t cutting it. Research shows that many patients don’t read handouts, and if they do, they often don’t understand the information. During office visits, patients misunderstand or forget 40-80% of what the provider says.

X-Plain ENT conveys vital health messages through iPads and Android tablets, health websites and patient portals. Our patient education solutions rely on simplified text, illustrations and animations. To ensure readability, we write our content at a 4th to 5th grade reading level and provide full narration.

X-Plain tutorials ask questions to check for understanding and give interactive feedback. We can also electronically track usage to ensure that patients are finishing the learning session.

Why Do Patients Prefer X-Plain?

Nine out of ten patients surveyed said they wish all their healthcare providers offered X-Plain. Here’s why:

Patients can see and hear the concepts explained through text, narration, illustrations and animations. Research shows this multiple-input approach improves the user's attention, comprehension and retention.
Patients can control the pace of learning. Users with limited health literacy can learn at their own pace, while those with more background knowledge can turn off the narration and proceed quickly. The presentation automatically stops if the patient becomes distracted and doesn’t press continue.
Patients often feel intimidated when engaging in teach-back with a healthcare provider. In an X-Plain program, patients who answer a question incorrectly can try again without embarrassment. When they answer questions correctly, their confidence grows. Patients who feel less anxiety can focus more easily during teach-back and are more likely to point out possible medical errors.

Why Do Healthcare Providers Prefer X-Plain?

X-Plain not only increases patient satisfaction, but it also reduces the burden on healthcare providers. We help our clients:

Streamline teach-back by answering the most common questions that patients and their families ask.
Support informed consent by documenting completion and comprehension of the programs. Our tutorials have been used in a court of law to help dismiss claims that the patient was not adequately informed.
Engage a broader population by giving patients access to content in their native language – English, Spanish or Arabic.
Achieve their goals by developing patient education content and solutions that meet each client’s needs.
