What is Emmi?

Emmi is an interactive patient education series that manages the expectations of people who are scheduled for surgery. Using easy-to-understand language, Emmi walks patients through the entire experience from pre-op to post-op, including risks and alternatives. Emmi improves the overall patient experience by explaining, in an easy-to-understand manner, what a patient can expect before, during and after an upcoming medical procedure. You'll also see that you can send questions to your doctor's office while watching the program.  Feel free to watch Emmi as many times as you'd like - both before and after your procedure. And please be sure to share it with your family or a friend. They'll find it helpful, too.  Best of all, patients love Emmi because it focuses on the communication between them and their doctor. 

How do I view Emmi?

When you are scheduled for your surgery, you will be asked if you would like to view the Emmi program for your specific procedure.  If you wish to receive the program, you will need to provide Bedford Surgical Associates, Inc. with an email address.  Your name and date of birth will be entered into the Emmi Manager by our staff.  When you open your email from Dr. Faber, it will instruct you to click on the link provided or you can click on the Emmi Solutions icon above.  Then enter your access code and date of birth.  You will immediately begin the program.
