eVideon

eVideon is not an ambulatory EMR/EHR vendor but rather a specialized patient engagement technology company focused exclusively on hospital inpatient settings. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota, eVideon provides interactive patient care systems (iPCS) that transform hospital televisions into patient engagement platforms for acute care facilities.

The company's core product is a bedside patient engagement platform that integrates with hospital EHR systems to deliver personalized patient education, meal ordering, entertainment, and communication tools through in-room television screens. The system is designed to improve patient satisfaction scores (HCAHPS), reduce nurse call volume, and enhance patient-provider communication during hospital stays.

Key differentiators include deep integration with major hospital EHR systems (Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Allscripts) via HL7 and FHIR standards, allowing real-time synchronization of patient data, care team information, and clinical schedules. The platform pulls patient-specific educational content based on diagnosis codes and displays upcoming procedures, medications, and care plans directly to patients at the bedside.

eVideon's solution is deployed as a cloud-based platform with on-premise hardware components (interactive displays and controllers) installed in patient rooms. The system supports medical device integration, enabling vital signs from bedside monitors to be displayed for patient viewing, and facilitates two-way video communication for telehealth consultations.

The target market consists of acute care hospitals, health systems, and specialty hospitals (cancer centers, cardiac facilities, children's hospitals) ranging from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers. The platform is marketed to hospital administrators, patient experience directors, and nursing leadership rather than physician practices or ambulatory clinics.

Notable strengths include proven ROI through reduced nurse call volumes (20-40% reduction reported by clients), improved HCAHPS scores, and enhanced patient education compliance. The company has established partnerships with major healthcare organizations and serves hundreds of hospitals across the United States. eVideon competes with GetWellNetwork (acquired by PointClickCare) and Luma Health's inpatient solutions, differentiating through its focus on seamless EHR integration and customizable patient engagement workflows that align with hospital-specific care protocols.
