At MedBridge, we believe that a more diverse and inclusive group of instructors, models, and patients will benefit the industry and will better reflect the diversity of the communities our clients serve. As an organization, we continually seek to increase diversity within allied health professions through initiatives such as expanding our content library to feature more people of color and other underrepresented populations.
We've recently made a major update MedBridge Home Exercise Program (HEP) that replaces many of our most popular exercises with versions that better reflect this diversity of patients MedBridge’s clients serve. We've included answers to key questions about this update here as well as the exact exercises that have been replaced.
FAQ:
How does this impact past patient programs?
There will be no change to programs already assigned. Existing patient programs will continue to have the previous exercise included.
How does this impact updated patient programs?
As new updates are made to current patient programs, a new version of the exercise will be reflected going forward.
How does this impact templates?
If you or your organization has pre-built templates that include these exercises, the exercises will be replaced with the new exercise video.
Are the exercises the same?
Exercises were filmed to mimic the exact demonstration of the previous video.
How is MedBridge continuing to support diversity in their Patient Ed and HEP offerings?
MedBridge has a dedicated and consistent focus to incorporate a diversity of models within each filming shoot to ensure we are accurately reflecting the diversity of patients you serve.
