Canada is seeing a drop in family physicians for the first time in decades. With fewer doctors, the demands on those remaining are skyrocketing—longer hours, more patients, and increasing administrative workloads.

That’s where 5thPort comes in. By streamlining patient education with personalized, easy-to-understand resources, 5thPort reduces time spent repeating explanations and answering the same questions.

In countless surveys and studies, and across specialties, physicians consistently cite the time and energy they must devote to filling out forms and other administrative tasks near or at the top of their list of grievances. The mantra repeatedly heard throughout the profession is, “This isn’t why I went into medicine.” https://lnkd.in/eaDdPH8 Reach out to us ([email protected]) to learn how to reduce your administrative burden while enabling your team to practice at top-of-license.

According to a study by Katey Savage, et al. published in the Journal of Medicine Imaging and Radiation Sciences, how information is received depends on the individual’s learning style. Therefore, understanding those different learning styles can help a physician identify how patients learn best. By assessing each patient’s learning style, health care professionals can find innovative ways to educate patients about the disease process and self-management. https://hubs.li/Q02Yc_8P0. 5thPort's premise is exactly this - we help you better educate your patients through AI-generated videos, digital documents, teach-back in their preferred language, across any device - and in a way they want.

"Just as patients are unique and different, their learning needs are too. Using a personalized approach ensures everyone has access to the education they need to achieve optimal outcomes." Anne Snively's timely article in Oncology Nursing Society is the foundation on which 5thPort was built. That there are different strategies that HCP's need to use (like teach-back and multimedia) to better educate their patients. After all, better patient education = improved outcomes.

Imagine this: a patient sits in your office, a folder of complex medical information resting on their lap. You have just diagnosed them with a chronic condition, and their mind is racing with questions and concerns. You explain the treatment, their options, risks and benefits as best you can – but the overwhelming emotions and medical jargon can create a fog in the patient’s mind. They nod along, but deep down, they’re lost, unsure of what’s really happening.  Knowing how to evaluate #PatientUnderstanding can make all the difference.  In this blog, we’ll explore five key strategies that can transform the way patients understand what’s going on with their health, and how to evaluate #PatientComprehension through each of these strategies.  Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gBJpDJBm
