The Patient Channel: For Hospital Staff - Tools for Educators

Custom Patient Guides Featuring The Patient Channel TV Schedule

GE Healthcare and American Hospitals Patient Guide, Inc. (AHPGI) are excited to offer two new tools for your staff and patients that not only save time and money but also enhance the effectiveness of your Patient Channel subscription as a resource to increase patient understanding and engagement in their care and recovery.

No more downloads & no more printing your own copies of the TV schedule! Because your hospital is a Patient Channel subscriber, you can receive AHPGI's Health Update magazine, featuring The Patient Channel TV schedule - or receive both Health Update and The Patient Channel TV schedule in your own custom patient guide published for you by AHPGI. Both options are available at little to no cost to your hospital! Learn more below.

Here's what Peter Jude, Director of Marketing for Kendall Regional Medical Center, says about his hospital's custom patient guide:

"Incorporating GE’s Patient Channel program listing into the patient guide produced for us by AHPGI was simple. It reassures me to know that AHPGI is working in partnership with The Patient Channel to ensure that the program information is correct and up-to-date. We now have a custom publication to help us increase patient and staff awareness of The Patient Channel programming. AHPGI’s free patient guide does that for us!"
