A.D.A.M. Enhances SmartCare Patient Education Platform

A.D.A.M. Patient Education Solutions, which is part of the larger Ebix Health Content and Wellness, has proudly announced the relaunch of its SmartCare platform, designed specifically for improving patient education in clinical settings. The redesigned platform aims to facilitate quicker access to reliable educational materials, helping healthcare providers enhance patient understanding and care efficiency.

Key Features of the New SmartCare Platform

The revamped SmartCare platform is focused on three main tasks intended to streamline the clinician's workflow:

1. Finding Information Efficiently: Enhanced search functionalities allow clinicians to locate the necessary educational resources faster. With advanced filters and the ability to save favorite articles, finding relevant content has never been easier.

2. Teaching Effectively: SmartCare now provides easily comprehensible educational materials, including condition-specific videos available in both English and Spanish. This ensures that patients receive high-quality information that they can understand and engage with.

3. Sharing Seamlessly: Educational resources can now be sent directly to a patient portal or printed with a QR code that links to an interactive, mobile-friendly version of the content. This feature simplifies the process of sharing knowledge, making it more efficient for healthcare providers.

Built for Future Growth

The SmartCare platform is now powered by cloud-based technology, which not only enhances its capabilities but also reduces the need for intensive local maintenance. Routine updates can be centralized, ensuring that all users benefit from the latest features with minimal effort on their part. The platform supports HL7 Infobutton, FHIR APIs, and single sign-on, making integration with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and other enterprise systems straightforward.

SmartCare has already been implemented in eClinicalWorks (eCW), a widely-used EHR system, where over 1,000 organizations leverage its functions directly within their care processes, recognizing the immediate benefits to patient education delivery.

Expert Insights

Mary Beth Titsworth, Vice President of Health Content at A.D.A.M., emphasizes the importance of readily accessible educational content for patient care. "Patient education only helps if clinicians can deliver it in the moment. With the redesigned SmartCare, a clinician can find what a patient needs, share it in a few clicks and get back to the visit," Titsworth stated.

Gagan Sethi, CEO of Ebix, adds, "A.D.A.M. gives Ebix trusted clinical content delivered inside the daily workflow of care teams. Moving SmartCare to an API-first foundation lets us expand this library into new AI models, EHRs, health plans, and enterprise partners without requiring a rebuild each time."

Engaging with SmartCare

Organizations interested in exploring the benefits of the new SmartCare platform can easily request a demonstration or discuss integration options through A.D.A.M.'s official website. The team is keen to help healthcare providers understand how this tool can enhance their patient education practices.
