The Patient Channel provides the following advantages for patients:

• Delivers relevant disease-oriented information to patients at their greatest point of need - while they are in the hospital

• Replays the same program at different times during the day so that patients don't miss a program if they are out of the room - patients, family members and friends also have the ability to review the program more than once

• Provides timely, up-to-date patient education content

• Complements other sources of patient education provided by hospital staff

• Provides family members and friends of patients with access to information - resulting in less confusion and better assistance by family and friends in relation to patient compliance

• Supplements information received during a hospital stay with a related Patient Channel website
