3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The MedBridge platform is unique due to: proprietary content and presentation of clinical and rehabilitation exercise animations; the certified education unit and certification preparation modules; and the patient engagement content, particularly the ability to provide patients with exercise video instruction via a mobile device app and to customize the video instruction to individual Veteran patient issues. No other platform the Knowledge Information Service librarians assessed contained the same wide range of material as MedBridge. The Medbridge platform is extremely popular in the PT, OT, SLP professions as proven by the very high access and usage statistics month to month.
4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:
The Knowledge Information Service staff assessed the use of MedBridge and conducted a nominal search to follow up on any leads for similar platforms. Of the six resources assessed, requirements with therapist education with CEs, patient education, and an exercise library.
The therapists, speech language pathologists and hospital librarians was that MedBridge product is the superior platform.
