Why Every Physician Needs Vivacare

“Patients forget most of what you tell them less than 6 minutes after walking out the door.” – Duane Cady, M.D., President AMA Foundation

Numbers do not lie:

• 81% of U.S. physicians report that they have difficulty providing appropriate paper-based handouts to their patients during office visits.
• Over 63% of American adults have Internet access and 80% of them seek health information online, but they would prefer to get the information from their own doctor.
• 47% of patients report that they were non-compliant with therapy due to a lack of understanding about the benefits of treatment.
• 14-21% of patients never fill their original prescription.
• 66% of physicians who provided tailored patient educational content reported an increase in patient compliance and 38% reported a reduction in patient calls regarding therapy.

Your patients are becoming increasingly responsible for making their own healthcare decisions. They need more information to understand their diagnosis and treatment options…and they want that information from you, their own physician.

They want know why you put them on Drug A instead of Drug B when Drug B has such an appealing television ad.

They want to know when not to worry, and when it is appropriate to call your office.

They want to know what that test result means.

But you don’t have time to answer every question or review every page they have downloaded from the Internet.

You need an easy and effective way to provide your patients with the information they need to better manage their own health. You need Vivacare.
