Parrish Medical Center Provides Emmi Patient Education Programs

WFTV - Highlights a randomized controlled study by Geisel and Dartmouth-Hitchcock researchers supporting the value and efficacy of the Emmi programs, a series of online presentations that makes complex medical information easy to understand, and uses plain language, animation and graphics to educate patients about upcoming surgery procedures, chronic conditions, and safety. Researchers found that patients who had viewed an Emmi program about their upcoming procedure had decreased anxiety, lower sedation medication requirements, and shorter procedure times.
