Information Therapy is not just for patients. Its for relatives too !

Traditionally, Indian patients were passive and were quite happy to leave all medicaldecisions to the doctor.

However, times have changed, and internet positive patients are hungry for information and want to work in partnership with their doctor.
This is a huge challenge -- and a great opportunity as well. We feel patients are the largest untapped healthcare resource and that Information Therapy is Powerful Medicine !
What can we do to persuade doctors to prescribe Information Therapy routinely?
Relatives (and the patient's visitors) are potential customers. Why not educate them about health and illness? The most effective way of doing so is by setting up Patient Education Resource Centers (PERC) in the hospital As Indian hospitals strive to attract medical tourists and match global standards, documenting that patient education has been provided is going to be an integral and indispensable part of patient care. The PERC will become an important department of the hospital.  Contact us to set up a Patient Education Resource Center. Read More… Using Information Therapy To Put Patients First !

Just because you haven't been trained as a doctor doesn't minimize the important role you play in preventing errors with regard to your medicines, or those for your family!

By the very process of asking questions about your medicines, you understand why you are taking them, how to take them, and what to expect so that you can detect potential errors.

Remember that it's not a secret code which is being used to keep you in the dark! If you have difficulty in understanding medical terms, you can ask your doctor to help you. … Read More
