PatientPoint Earns Hermes Creative Awards for Content Excellence

Decorated point-of-care leader earns 14 awards for exceptional education helping patients live better lives

CINCINNATI, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PatientPoint®, the trusted leader in patient and physician engagement solutions, has received 14 Hermes Creative Awards for creative excellence. Content from two PatientPoint Programs--PatientPoint Communicate and PatientPoint Educate--won six Platinum, seven Gold and one Honorable Mention awards. The Hermes Creative Awards is one of the world’s largest competitions honoring the messengers and creators of traditional and emerging media. As a Platinum award winner, PatientPoint is joined by some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Pepsi, Hilton, Citi, UPS and Allstate.

PatientPoint is the most decorated point-of-care education and engagement provider with more than 500 content and creative awards. The company delivers patient education through a cohesive point-of-care communication platform that leverages critical touchpoints such as waiting rooms, exam rooms and the back office to increase patient-physician engagement and improve outcomes.

Unlike most of its competitors, PatientPoint develops the majority of its content internally using a highly customized approach. The PatientPoint Content & Creative team tailors education to individual specialties--with input from practicing physicians--as well as to the spaces in which it will be shown to ensure that it meets the unique needs of patients and providers in the point-of-care environment.

The Hermes Creative Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), the industry’s pre-eminent third-party evaluator of creative work. In a recent blog post highlighting the Platinum award-winning PatientPoint segment “Manage Insomnia with Medicines,” the AMCP described PatientPoint as an organization with a mission to create content "…to educate patients about medical problems they may face, and provide soothing explanations and solutions to those problems. The technique is incredibly imaginative, taking concepts and turning them into colorful messaging.”

“Every piece of content that we create is designed to equip patients with relevant, easy-to-understand and actionable information that can help them have better conversations with their providers and live better lives,” said PatientPoint Senior Vice President, Content and Creative, Kate Merz. “This recognition from the Hermes Creative Awards for all 14 of our submissions motivates us to continue to create superior-quality education that helps patients find the words--or information--they need to make that next engagement with their doctor, often one that will have a meaningful impact on their health.”

Entries for the Hermes Creative Awards, which include 200 categories encompassing print media, campaigns and emerging media, originate from diverse organizations ranging from individual communicators to media conglomerates to Fortune 500 companies.
