“I was at my facility in Bath & heard a great story that you will be interested in: Our Women’s Health Coordinator at Bath / Canandaigua was on the Behavioral Health Unit (at Canandaigua), interviewing female patients & doing a chart audit. She noted several nurses notes documenting patients use of MedCalm. The staff is now offering the choice of MedCalm or a sleeping med, as appropriate (and as meds are ordered) to the patients. In most cases, the patients are using MedCalm, to help them off to sleep, instead of the med. The results are wonderful! Sleep / relaxation is being induced, at no added cost (financially to the VA or physically, to the patient), by staff offering the patient a choice! Your product is helping our Veterans to achieve a better, more restful state of relaxation / sleep, through THEIR choice and avoiding meds (and the consequences inherent there in)!!! This is TRULY Patient Focused, Patient Centered Care!!! THANK YOU!!!”

“Amy – the unit is so pleased with the Medcalm that we are getting ready to order another one. Can I assume that all I’ll need is another purchase order to get the ball rolling?” ”

“The staff of 5 North have found the Medcalm system to be a wonderful augmentation tool to offer to patients as they learn to self soothe, cope and tolerate the stresses associated with poor impulse control and sensory over stimulation.”

“...last week I went for an MRI. They gave me a headset, and it was GREAT. I thought, "I'm so glad I have this music to take my mind off this 20-minute procedure!" And I actually fell asleep. And then again, today, I had to get an injection in my knee (eeeek!) and I wished I had the headset so that I could go to "my happy place";) ”
“I have found the Medcalm Channel option on Get Well Network for relaxation videos a fantastic addition and use it often. The patients really enjoy it. Music can be very healing.”

“I visit many patients who are in SVBGH. I can't rave enough about MedCalm. It really helps calm cancer patients and heart patients taking their mind off their pain. Wonderful program! Keep it coming”

“Ever hear of the Picker Institute? I wrote my first abstract for them, based on the Patient Satisfaction Score Improvement project that we purchased your first 4 units for. The abstract mentions MedCalm. My abstract has been selected for a poster presentation at the next National Picker Symposium! The project itself finally gives us hard data that is so important to the VHA. For you, it also means recognition, as a product tied to improving patient satisfaction outcomes.”

““I am so excited about these videos. 3WW staff, patients and families were shown how to use them....We had a patient of Dr. Bava's in a lot of pain, and she used it. Also, we used it at night to calm patients. And for our comfort care patients. Families and patients loved the flower pictures. 3WW votes to keep them!!!"
