Help patients understand procedures, make informed decisions, and confidently manage their perioperative experience with the ACS Patient Education Toolkit. This customizable website is a point-of-care surgical education resource, enabling providers to send trusted education directly to patients.

Hundreds of titles from the ACS, National Cancer Institute, and National Institutes of Health are included, with options to personalize and insert your own content. Specialty, single provider, and hospital toolkits are available. All editions feature ACS procedure brochures, surgical cancer training materials, and skill-based videos.

Features include:

  • Customizable and curated content. Include your logo for patient recognition, hide titles that may not pertain to your patient population, and insert your own content.
  • Engagement options for patients. Text or email patients with specific titles for focused learning, which may also be printed. Advertise your Toolkit via your personalized URL, QR code, and poster. Insert your Toolkit on your pre-existing website with options for website navigation, iFrame, or search plug-in.
  • Data and surveys. Receive patient evaluation data in real time via the included patient survey. You can also insert your own survey and view site using data in real time.

Explore the Toolkit with a 60-Day Free Trial.
