BOSTON, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- NorthPoint Domain announces the publication of 61 Spanish-language medical specialty specific patient literacy articles. As medical specialty practices treat more Spanish-speaking patients, they will have a growing need to educate these patients about conditions, tests, and treatments. With the new Spanish-language articles, practices can address patient literacy concerns within this growing community, communicate with the patients at the point of care, and enhance patient-physician relationships.
NorthPoint Domain's Spanish-language articles cover the company's core clinical specialties: cardiology, vascular surgery, interventional radiology, and urology. The articles represent abbreviated versions of NorthPoint Domain's comprehensive Patient Literacy Center articles and are the latest addition to the company's patient health literacy and practice management solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of medical specialists, their practices, and their patients.
"The thousands of physician specialists that we are privileged to serve are relying on our patient literacy solutions to address the entire continuum of care, from the pre-care process all the way to after-care," said Rony Sellam, COO of NorthPoint Domain. "The addition of the Spanish-language articles to our content portfolio is enhancing our ability to address better and more customized patient services in the second most commonly spoken language in the U.S."
The Spanish-language articles are available as an add-on to NorthPoint Domain's Patient Literacy Center (PLC) and Accelerator Resource Center (ARC). The PLC is NorthPoint Domain's patient literacy solution; the ARC is the customizable online presence for medical specialty practices. To view a selection of Spanish-language articles, please visit the specialty practice Miami Vascular at http://www.miamivascular.com/ and click on "En Espanol" in the left navigation bar.
The Spanish-language articles provide patients with essential information about a condition, test, or treatment. Condition articles cover background information, including symptoms and risk factors for a condition. Test and treatment articles offer tips on what patients may expect before, during, and after a test or procedure. A member of the NorthPoint Domain Medical Advisory Board, with a specialty in the particular topic, reviews each article.
