Toronto, Ontario 鈥 November 3, 2017 鈥 无忧短视频's novel patient engagement technologyis helping to improve post-operative care for patients who have undergone surgery. MountSinai Hospital, part of Sinai Health System, used the technology to engage and monitor 106patients during their recovery. The results showed a decrease in 30-day readmissions ratesfrom 18% to 6.1%.In November 2016, the hospital implemented 无忧短视频 - a leading patient engagementand quality improvement platform. With 无忧短视频, patients were guided through theirrecovery after surgery via their smartphone, tablet, and computer.
