The report’s most striking highlights point to significant ongoing deficits in the patient experience, despite decades of focus by the healthcare industry.

In just 68 seconds, our new video demonstrates how digital healthcare technology improves health literacy and healthcare outcomes by guiding a patient's daily actions through text messaging, email and app.

A powerful tool and essential addition to the patient-centered digital ecosystem of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) is a patient engagement platform.

Clients that have used the SmarteXp® platform to support outpatient joint replacement surgeries tell us that virtual patient engagement is an important factor in their success.  The platform and proven, evidence-based content ensures that patients remain engaged throughout their health journey, beyond the face-to-face interactions in pre- and post-op appointments.
