BlueStep/BridgeGate Health Partners with Polyglot Systems to Provide Simplified, Multilingual Medication Instructions for Seniors

Morrisville 8/4/2014 9:00:00 PM

BlueStep/BridgeGate Health, a leading provider of health IT solutions for the long term and post-acute care (LTPAC) market, today announced it has integrated Polyglot Systems’ Meducation® software into its portfolio of information management solutions.
Meducation converts patients/residents’ medication instructions into plain language. With intuitive formats, large fonts, pictograms and videos, the software simplifies complex information in any of 19 languages. With the integration into BlueStep/BridgeGate Health’s electronic health records platform, Meducation solutions can now be delivered to patients electronically or printed, without interrupting clinical workflow. This integration will improve medication adherence by making individual patient instructions engaging and easy to understand. The result is improved health and reduced healthcare costs.  
“Nearly one in three Americans experience substantial communication problems when interacting with the healthcare system,” said Sims Preston, CEO, Polyglot. “Because of miscommunication, these individuals are more likely to take their medicines incorrectly, mismanage chronic conditions, be hospitalized, and visit the emergency room.”
BlueStep/BridgeGate Health provides the LTPAC industry’s only client-configurable care and clinical platform powered by high-performance data integration. Its solutions are in place at more than 400+ Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and over 300+ 340B hospitals covering 1000+ facilities.
"We are only working, by choice, with partners that appreciate the urgency of delivering the best level of care to our loved ones through best-in-class products and an open market philosophy,” said Tom Bang, CEO, BlueStep/BridgeGate Health. “We have a phenomenal team comprised of partners we carefully select, and now includes Polyglot Systems. Our companies share a mutual desire to enhance quality of life through patient engagement, better communication and seamless integration.”
