We believe in the value of patient education and we’re confident there’s no better patient education available than Krames. But don’t just take our word for it. If you’re skeptical, we invite you to read what some of our customers are saying about the positive outcomes they’ve experienced when using Krames.

Our bedside staff uses the Krames On-Demand pages frequently. While we occasionally come across patients who ask for more information, Krames is well used in our units due to the great graphics and the simple to read information! Not only are the pictures worth a thousand words, but Krames has been wonderfully responsive to our need for new topics. Having the pages in additional languages is an answer to our needs.

I have discovered Krames to be an outstanding customer service oriented organization. Your public health content is extremely user-friendly, and its portability is a key value-added feature. KOD underwrites our employee assistance – wellness program perfectly. I am extremely satisfied with this product, its support, and content-richness.

We continue to order Krames material because of its professional visual appeal. Our employees are busy people; Krames materials are quick and easy to understand. That is the most useful characteristic we could ask for.

As an adjunct to 1:1 RN to patient education process, we use Krames materials in our Pre-Admission Testing department. The artwork is excellent and the printed information is presented in a manner that is non-threatening to patients preparing for surgery.

We have been using Krames publications for the past several years. Both the staff and our patients greatly appreciate the Krames approach of utilizing colorful graphics and to-the-point explanations of diseases or procedures. The fonts are visible and easy to read. You not only save the time it would take a nurse to cover all the information but provide us with a chance to give something to the patient to take with him or her to show and share with their families. Since we are located in a retirement community, our patient’s families don’t live close by and often rely on mom or dad to give them all the information. We are now looking at opportunities to utilize Krames On-Demand since it will provide us with the patient education at the touch of the button.

I have used Krames publications for more than 10 years-they provide patients with clear, easy to understand information. The graphics are excellent. They pinpoint all the need-to-know aspects of a patients disease state. Thank you Krames for making education easier.

I first began using the Krames booklets in 1976 when I graduated from PT school. They were informative and helpful to my patients. Now, twenty-six years later, I find myself still using the little booklets for our patients and am very impressed how much the "Krames Library" has expanded. Last week, I was in the dentist’s chair and overheard a conversation between my dentist and an elderly lady. He was very patient in taking the time to explain the problem and then treatment to her and this reinforced the importance of patient education in my orthopedic rehabilitation clinic. Krames has done such an excellent job on explaining the how’s and why’s of orthopedic conditions and the management of these conditions, that I’ve ordered the personalized Orthopaedics Krames On-Demand CD to enhance my practice and facilitate the outcome of our rehab programs.

Krames publications are used in our Cardiac Wellness Program on a daily basis. From impatient teaching to one-on one education and also in classroom settings, they are the best. With easy-to-understand language, to-the-point information and outstanding visuals, Krames stands above the rest. Krames is also the only publication with standing approval in our hospital system, which makes it so much easier and faster for us to make education available to our patients.

In my 16 years of nursing, I have had the opportunity to utilize the Krames education booklets and am thrilled with them. From cardiology to diabetes, Krames has booklets for all literacy levels and preferred learning styles. While I have always depended on Krames for educational material, I did not appreciate them as much as I do now. My husband recently had surgery for an umbilical hernia. Before his visit to the surgeon, I tried desperately to explain the defect and the surgery itself. I even attempted crude drawings to illustrate. After seeing the surgeon, he came home with a Krames booklet. The information and pictures were so accurate, right down to the size and shape of the incision. A picture is indeed "worth a thousand words."

I see Colostomy patients pre-op and post-op. Krames educational Colostomy booklets are developed to get a patient to follow step-by-step with visual pictures of the various learning activities. They are colorful, easy to follow and loved by all ages and educational levels. I would recommend Krames educational materials to all health care facilities where education is the focus for prevention and management of diseases.

Krames patient education materials have been a mainstay at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic for patient education resources. I have been with Kelsey-Seybold for 18 years, and cannot remember a time we were not using materials from Krames. In committees where we determine which materials to use, Krames consistently provides materials which are excellent. We have found them to be medically based in content reflection current practices, and user friendly. They have great eye appeal to the consumer with text and supporting pictures to best meet patient needs.

In my opinion the educational booklet Understanding ADHD is a very informative resource material for the pediatric/adolescent patient as well as the parent because of the simplicity of the information that is given.
Veronica Johnson LVN Coordinator Kelsey-Seybold Pediatric

Krames has been a valuable resource for our patients, staff and community. I have worked with Kelsey-Seybold six years and from the very beginning I was oriented to the literature that Krames offers. The resources that you provide are very important to newly diagnosed patients with health problems. The staff will give the patient the initial information verbally and we then provide the booklet, brochures and/or videos that will help our patient population stay informed on what’s going on with them. In short, Krames has helped us to empower our patients with knowledge and options.

After evaluating many companies which provide patient and family education, Krames publications are the number one choice. Krames provides information which is well organized, easy to read (customer friendly, customer focused). Krames publications also focus on cultural diversity (ex. Spanish publications.) Thanks!

We’ve been using Krames publications in our Health Info Center, since we first opened last October. Both the staff and our patients appreciate the Krames approach that clearly explains complex conditions and procedures. The other company’s educational material doesn’t even come close! Krames booklets are the best! What the patients like most are the graphics – this really makes patient teaching easier. Thanks Krames for the wonderful educational products.

We were looking for a product that would provided a broad range of health education information at all sites within our organization. (Krames On-Demand Internet) HealthSheetsTM are easy to access, and our staff was pleased with the graphics as well as having the information available in Spanish. Patient drug information as part of the package is a real plus for our nurses. KODi staff has been great to work with, very helpful and responsive.
