Educate pts with U Tube

Use YouTube videos to educate patients

Armed with data showing that 71 percent of U.S. adults have used the Web to research health information, Medem has announced a new service that enables doctors to embed YouTube-hosted videos into their iHealth practice Web sites.

The videos can be used to educate patients, explain treatment plans or procedures and introduce their practices to new patients.

More than 70,000 U.S. physicians currently have iHealth practice Web sites, including many members of the AMA. Founded by the AMA and several national medical specialty societies, Medem offers a suite of Web-based services to engage patients in better managing their health
