Beginning November 1st, thousands of urology offices around the country will offer valuable patient education material from UroMed and Cure Medical. This information will be provided by PatientPoint, a leader in point-of-care patient and physician engagement solutions. Participating offices in the PatientPoint Urology Exam Room Network will be able to offer patients comprehensive health information on catheterization and incontinence.
“There is a great need for education and quality assurance when it comes to catheterization, and there are a large number of urology patients requiring catheters,” said John Anderson, president and CEO of Cure Medical. “Cure Medical is pleased to be part of the PatientPoint program to help end users get the high quality urologic product they need as easily as possible. PatientPoint is another way Cure Medical can reach our customers who need these products to live long, healthy lives.”
“Ongoing education and dedicated patient support are keystones of the overall commitment that UroMed makes to customer care,” said Lisa Wells, director of marketing for UroMed. “We recognize PatientPoint as a premier provider and developer of patient education, and we are thrilled to help provide these new educational resources within their network. PatientPoint is the only company which can help us advance our messages in the privacy of the exam room every day to educate catheter users in urology offices nationwide.”
“UroMed is the first home medical equipment company to sponsor the PatientPoint network as a way to better educate and serve their customers in urology exam rooms,” said Linda Ruschau, executive vice president, client solutions at PatientPoint. “PatientPoint urologists see approximately 2.4 million patients annually, and we are confident that PatientPoint will help UroMed/Cure Medical address their customers’ needs. We are proud of this new partnership and look forward to mutual success.”
