PatientPoint multimedia content for the waiting room and exam room spanning five specialties earned six Platinum and eight Gold 2020 Hermes Creative Awards, respectively. By the end of 2020, best-in-industry PatientPoint content will have the potential to impact nearly 450 million patient visits and improve doctor-patient engagement for more than 77,000 unique healthcare professionals nationwide.

PatientPoint is the most decorated patient education and engagement provider in the Point of Care industry with nearly 750 content and creative awards. The PatientPoint Content & Creative team develops content specifically for the specialties and spaces in which it will be shown to ensure that it meets the needs of patients and providers at all points of care.

“Our goal has always been to create content that connects with patients and inspires action to help them get the best-possible care or live their best lives,” said PatientPoint Executive Vice President of Content and Creative Kate Merz. “This external recognition validates our efforts and our long-standing point of view that health content can also be engaging content.”

Among the content honored with a 2020 Platinum Hermes Creative Award is “Defying the Odds,” a live-action profile of wheelchair BMX champion Katherine Beattie, the first woman to complete a backflip in a wheelchair. In the vignette designed for PatientPoint waiting room and exam room engagement solutions, Beattie, who has cerebral palsy, explains how shattering perceptions around disability has been a driving force in her life.

“Defying the Odds” is the storytelling series debut from PatientPoint Studios (@patientpointstudios), the newly launched video production wing of the PatientPoint Content and Creative team. The PatientPoint Studios team of veteran healthcare and consumer brand and publishing creators, strategists, innovators and producers is led by two-time Emmy and three-time Webby award winner Chris Hercik, known for his work with leading brands and publications such as Sports Illustrated, for co-founding Meredith content studio The Foundry and for launching award-winning branded content studio HEVĒ with [INVNT GROUP] in 2019.
