Mytonomy has officially announced the launch of its modern Written Education Library, which will straight away mark a major expansion for its award-winning patient education library, while simultaneously bringing significant updates across the company’s enterprise software platform to deliver a modern streaming experience which combines both video and written education in one place.
Mytonomy also took this opportunity to share an enhanced version of its provider experience, an experience which is now more powerful and well-equipped to facilitate algorithmic delivery of written education. This the solution does using a robust IMO Health platform, an industry standard in powering billing codes within EHRs such as Epic, in and around most major hospitals.
Anyway, coming back to Mytonomy’s new written education library, it arrives on the scene bearing an ability to offer written handouts for adults, children, and older adults across all major conditions and procedures spanning the most care settings, including ambulatory, inpatient, procedural, chronic, acute, and wellness care. The stated materials assortment packs together, at launch, common points in the patient journey, such as pre- and post-operative instructions, medication guidance, lab/test explanations, discharge planning, and condition overviews,
Next up, we must expand how the design of each handout is easy to follow, as it leverages visual cues such as graphics, icons, bold key terms, and clear action steps to relay its underlying message. Such an archetype, like you can guess, really goes the distance to ensure that patients not only read but also receive and understand information.
“The partnership with IMO Health modernizes previous legacy approaches of delivering written education inside the EHR workflow, helping providers deliver consistent, evidence-based guidance to every patient. Mytonomy’s modern, high-fidelity written education library helps patients understand how to care for themselves. This content can be streamed alongside our microlearning video education or delivered independently. We are simultaneously improving the provider and patient experience across the clinical journey,” said Vinay Bhargava, President, Co-founder, Mytonomy.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in Written Education Library’s ability to integrate seamlessly into existing health IT systems, including Epic (via Smart Text), SMART on FHIR, HL7, or Mytonomy’s Patient Experience Cloud. More on the same would reveal how, leveraging IMO Health’s clinical informatics technology, metadata code sets and keywords are generated automatically to ensure precise mapping, easy retrieval, and the delivery of the right education at the right time.
Then, there is a commitment from Mytonomy’s Written Education Library to follow the same high standards of clinical accuracy, health literacy, and accessibility as Mytonomy’s microlearning video education. You see, with information dispatched in both text and video formats, Mytonomy should be able to support patients with diverse learning styles, literacy levels, and accessibility needs.
“Partnering with Mytonomy to integrate our industry-leading terminology, precise code mapping, and clinical AI ensures all providers have the right education at the right time,” said Ann Barnes, CEO, IMO Health. “We’re excited about this opportunity to help Mytonomy deliver greater accuracy, boost efficiency, and improve the patient experience.”
In fact, on an average, writing is at a 4th to 6th-grade reading level, and even lower for specialized content. Furthermore, all written education follows the Plain Language Act of 2010, ADA-compliant accessibility standards, URAC, as well as aligns with the NIH Health Literacy Initiatives.
Almost like an extension of it, all content also meets CLAS Standards for cultural and linguistic appropriateness should help health systems advance equity and inclusion. Through Mytonomy’s Language Studio, materials are available in English and Spanish, with on-demand translation available into more than 100 languages.
Rounding up highlights would be the fact that every handout also undergoes a structured review cycle every three years to ensure accuracy and compliance. To go along with this, each piece of content is also regularly refined against national standards and updated with ongoing feedback from providers.
“With Mytonomy’s Written Education Library, we’re closing a gap by giving patients comprehensive information in ways that work best for them. Whether that’s watching a video, reading a handout, or both,” said Miranda Wommer, Director, Nursing and Head, Written Education, Mytonomy. “As a nurse and product leader, I’ve seen firsthand how critical it is to make education clear, accessible, and actionable.”
