Aceso Interactive and Truven Health Analytics Partner to Deliver Essential Medication Information to Patients

Aceso^®, a leading provider of patient engagement and media solutions in the healthcare industry and Truven Health Analytics™, an IBM (News - Alert) company and a leading provider of healthcare data and analytics solutions and services, announced a partnership to improve patient engagement by delivering information about specific medications to the patient's bedside TV, mobile device, computer, or electronic white board, eCareBoard^®.

The partnership is designed to automatically deliver important medication information to patients, enabling them to view medication details at their leisure and at the time of administration. Aceso will integrate with Truven Health's Medication Essential Fact Sheets and Micromedex^® CareNotes^®, part of Truven Health's Patient Connect Suite of patient education solutions. Aceso's UpCare^®, interactive patient engagement solution and eCareBoard^® a digital interactive white board, will display seamlessly the integrated Truven Health products on any endpoint device the customer chooses.

Geoff Fiedler, Aceso's President and Co-Founder stated, "Integrating Truven's 'essential facts' into Aceso's open platform represents the next leap in our system's maturity. Patients now have the ability to receive easily comprehensible medication information at the point of care improving HCAHPS and decreasing hospital readmissions. This represents another innovative industry first which could generate true value for our clients."

Hospital reimbursements are partially based on how well patients perceive their care (HCAHPS Survey). Aceso and Truven will assist hospitals to enhance the patient experience and boost medication-related HCAHPS scores. Medication Essential Fact Sheets will provide patients with information to help them uderstand their medications.
