Patient education before therapy, understood calmly
Before chemotherapy, immunotherapy or stem cell transplantation, there is a lot to understand, often in a distressing situation. With medudoc, patients prepare at home, together with family members if they wish. The consent discussion starts informed and remains the core of patient education.
Calmly at home
Distressing patient education needs time and support
Before cancer therapy, patients receive a great deal of information at once. medudoc moves preparation to the patient's home, at their own pace. Those who wish can watch the patient education video and read the consent sheet together with family members.
Watch several times, discuss together
The patient education video and consent sheet are available in the patient portal – no app, no new password. Patients view them as often as needed, also with family members.
Subtitles and reading version
The patient education video is deliberately written in plain language, with spoken text, optional subtitles and a reading version. Font size and contrast can be adjusted in the portal.
Understand in their own language
medudoc provides patient education content in 23 languages. The consent sheet is bilingual, with the German original on the left and the translation on the right.
Record questions instead of forgetting them
Patients mark sections and note questions. These questions appear in the consent discussion so that nothing gets lost.
Before chemotherapy
How patient education works before the first dose
Chemotherapy illustrates the process with medudoc. Before immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation or bone marrow aspiration, it works the same way, with the respective consent sheet.
1. Invitation
Patients start via QR code on the leaflet, a link on the hospital website or with the appointment confirmation.
2. Digital medical history
Pre-existing conditions, medication by photographing the package or medication plan, and existing findings by upload – in advance at home.
3. Review in the HCP Dashboard
Physicians see the overall picture for each case. medudoc flags notable information; the assessment remains with the physician.
4. Patient education video and consent sheet
The sheet adapts to the planned therapy, for example to cancer type, goal, cycles, route of administration and venous access.
5. Consent discussion
On site or by telemedicine, by phone or video call in the browser. Physicians add annotations to the sheet.
6. Electronic signature
In the browser or on a signature pad, at the signature level your hospital specifies.
The result is one PDF/A with the consent sheet, consent trail and medical history – archived audit-proof and transferred to the HIS.
On site or by telemedicine
The consent discussion where it fits
The physician decides, depending on the treatment and risk profile, whether a telemedical consent discussion is sufficient. Both paths start with the same preparation at home.
In the outpatient clinic, well prepared
For complex therapies, pre-existing conditions or when an examination is needed.
