READING, Pa. and RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ —
TeleHealth Services, the nation’s leading provider of healthcare
grade televisions and interactive patient education solutions,
today announced a new partnership with The Reading Hospital and
Medical Center (TRHMC). The 671-bed hospital chose TeleHealth
Services as their interactive patient education and entertainment
partner as an extension of the hospital’s Surgical Care Improvement
Project (SCIP).
The Reading Hospital is highly regarded for their clinical
excellence across an expanse of healthcare services. The TIGR
interactive patient education system is an addition to The Reading
Hospital’s use of evidence-based treatment guidelines to promote
consistency of care and positive patient outcomes. The combination
of consistent patient education materials delivered at the optimal
teaching moment bolsters Reading’s commitment to community health
education and will aid in maintaining their Joint Commission full
accreditation and increasing reimbursements.
“As a medical group we are committed to providing excellent
service to our community and we maintain a highly involved quality
management team to help coordinate all aspects of clinical care,”
said Greg Racow, manager of media services for The Reading Hospital
and Medical Center. “TeleHealth Services’ beliefs and approach
mirrored our values and commitment to providing the highest levels
of quality healthcare. TIGR’s use of the television as a
multi-sensory teaching medium and interactivity provides patients
with a clear understanding of their condition and after-hospital
care instructions, therefore reducing readmissions and empowering
the patient in their recovery process.”
TIGR enables hospitals to improve the patient experience while
increasing the value, quality and service of healthcare delivery.
This interactive system features video-on-demand access to a
hospital’s entire library of educational videos at the patient
bedside. TIGR
