Storytelling and Health: What’s the Connection?
Increasing Patient Education and Empowerment
Storytelling as a means of increasing patient education and empowerment has been a proven approach used effectively in healthcare settings and in clinical information sharing.
The reality is there are amazing and inspiring things happening in healthcare every day that, if conveyed through proper storytelling, can be a game-changing resource for patient communication and engagement.
Jeff Lefko Books is helping to leverage the power of storytelling to help improve healthcare delivery and outcomes to more patients and families.
Why Use Children’s Books in Healthcare?
Children’s books are a great way for a story to find a new audience. Using a captivating story told through a children’s book can deliver relatable and practical messages to substantially boost the number of people who will be aware of healthcare brands and become empowered to use branded services and resources.
Taking the value of storytelling to a new level through the use of customized branded children’s books, Jeff Lefko Books brings a unique dimension to building brand awareness while communicating the benefits and outcomes of healthcare solutions and initiatives.
Studies show that people retain around 70 percent of information when it is given to them in story form and only around 5 to 10 percent when it is delivered via straight data or statistics. For populations that may have a difficult time grasping complicated data, or simply coming to terms with information that is difficult to hear, storytelling through children’s books can make the healthcare delivery process more comfortable and “human”, thus improving patients’ engagement in their own care.
Stories told through children’s books also have been proven to be a great driver for word-of-mouth referrals through social media and other communication channels.
The audience reach of a children’s book reaches well beyond the actual target audience of the patients and their spouses/partners but also to other family and communities who can absorb and enjoy much of the story and the informational messages included in the story.
Children’s Books can go where no one and nothing else can
