Emmi Patient Information Programs

Information on a web-based patient education product that UPMC is using. You may find folks visiting the library to access this health information.

Emmi is a web-based patient education tool that UPMC has purchased. All patients that get general anesthesia are asked to view an Emmi program. Viewing a program requires an internet connection, sound, and Flash 10. Each program can last from 10 -20 minutes. Many UPMC offices with ample space provide computers on-site or direct the patient on-site patient resource areas. However, we find many patients are reaching out to their local libraries if they do not have access at home or at a family or friend’s home.
