Patient Advocacy Videos (PAVs) SM

General
PAVs are short videos created by people that want to share information about their medical condition and treatment outcome with other people that may have a similar medical condition.

All videos are accepted and displayed in accordance with the Terms of Service of NewMedicalNews.com. 

Operation
At this time all videos are to be sent via email to:  PAV@NewMedicalNews.com.

Each video will be reviewed and then if accepted, assigned into a specific therapeutic sub category for viewing.

Guidelines for Submission

Identification of therapy
Every FDA approved drug has a generic name and many have a brand name. Both are always shown on the label of your filled prescription container. The brand name is owned by, and identifies the maker of the drug or treatment. For legal purposes your PAV should only identify the generic FDA approved name of the treatment. It would help some viewers of your PAV if you wrote the generic name on a 8 ½  x 11 inches sheet of paper and displayed it during your PAV.

Condition Onset and Outcome
In your video, describe the onset of  your condition and the outcome by answering these general questions:

What were the first symptoms you noticed? 
When did you notice them?

How long was it before you contacted a healthcare professional?
How long before the prescribed therapy began working?
How long before you saw some improvement?
If true, how long until the condition was completely normal?

How long before you decided the therapy was not working?

Did you resort to any Alternative Therapy that was not prescribed by a physician?
if true, how long before this therapy began working?
If true, how long until the condition was completely normal?

What's Your Advice
This is the most important part of your video. Tell viewers what you've learned from your experience and how you think it can help others with a similar condition.

Visual Identification and Demonstration
The advantage of the video is your ability, where appropriate, to visually show people your condition. If possible, it would be helpful to viewers if you start and stop your video to show how, over time, your condition changed. Or didn't change.

When will videos be available online at NewMedicalNews.com?
We are just beginning the process of gathering videos. We hope to be able to display them on NewMedicalNews.com by the end of 2007.

Thank you for your participation in this important and innovative healthcare program. We will advise you by email when your video is online at NewMedicalNews.com.
