Digital Patient Engagement Made Easy

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The dailyRx News Network™, a leading digital publisher, announced today the syndication of its health news service for hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers. The dailyRx Active News™ platform enables healthcare providers to easily integrate patient-centric health news into any website, Twitter feed or Facebook channel for free.

"dailyRx Active News is a simple solution that delivers measurable value to digital conversations. Patients can now visit their provider's website or social media channel to find relevant information," said Donald Hackett, CEO of The dailyRx News Network. "Active News enables doctors, therapists, pharmacists, and nurses to put today's conversations in context for their patients."

Finding and organizing patient education materials that are accurate and easily understood is a time-consuming task. Research from HealthEd indicates that 47% of healthcare providers spend up to an hour each week gathering educational materials.

"I trust dailyRx's reporters and medical editors to select the most relevant research and translate it into language my patients can understand," said Kate Gose, LMFT-Associate, a dailyRx Contributing Expert.

"Active News makes the patient education process much more efficient. I'm saving thirty minutes each week," Gose said. "Patients can now easily find actionable information on my website http://www.kategose.com or Facebook page."

Providers are able to select from a wide range of health conditions to create a custom news feed. For example, an oncologist has the option to receive all cancer news or just one specialty, such as breast cancer. Additionally, providers can print news articles featured on Active News to distribute as in-practice patient education handouts.

Offering free health news to healthcare providers is the leading edge of dailyRx's multipart business strategy. Active News feeds will also be available to providers via www.1-800-Oncologist.com, www.1-800-Therapist.com, and www.RxWiki.com.
