Log in to your account, and easily turn on or off topics to the reflect conditions you treat, procedures you offer, and medications you prescribe.
If you turn off a topic, it will immediately disappear from your Patient Library.
The content is derived from multiple reputable sources, including the following:
- Professional organizations (i.e. AAD, AAN, AAFP, etc.)
- Patient Support Groups (i.e. National Psoriasis Foundation, National MS Society, etc.)
- Government Agencies (National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, FDA, etc.)
- Medical Publishers
In most cases, the content remains on third-party websites. This means that patients access the content through links to the organization's own website. Vivacare updates these links daily, as organizations change the locations of their links, add new information, or remove their content.
Vivacare provides content that is focused on helping patients understand their diagnosis and manage their condition. Priority is given to content that is practical in nature and easy to read and understand.
For any topic, many different types of content may be available, including the following:
- Printable handouts about diseases, procedures, or medications
- Printable booklets
- Online videos
- Links to support groups
- Links to books for purchase
- Self-care tools, such as diaries or recipes.
Vivacare's content team, including medical writers and physicians, first develops a draft content plan. Following internal review, the content is then reviewed and approved by Vivacare's medical advisors to match the real-world needs of practitioners and their patients.
Medical developments, such as new drug approvals or withdrawals, require that Vivacare keep its content offering current. The Vivacare content team is responsible for proposing content changes in response to these developments as well as in response to input from advisors, physician users, and routine review of medical literature.
Each of the content sources (professional organizations, support groups, publishers, etc.) also has its own internal review process and updates its content regularly. Suggested edits or updates are always welcome.
Vivacare provides regular updates that list content changes for your specialty.
Vivacare has made an effort to include content in other languages. Many medication handouts and disease overviews are available in Spanish.
