Patient Education
We believe that patient education is an integral part of our partnership with you; patients need to know when, how and why they need to make a lifestyle change. Group effort is equally important; each member of the patient’s healthcare team needs to be involved.
Reasons why we value patient education
- Improved understanding of medical conditions, diagnosis, disease or disability
- Improved understanding of methods and means to manage multiple aspects of a medical condition
- Improved self-advocacy in deciding to act both independently from medical providers and in interdependence with them
- Increased compliance: Effective communication and patient education increases patient motivation to comply
- Patient outcomes: Patients are more likely to respond well to their treatment plan with fewer complications
- Informed consent: Patients feel that they have been provided with the information they need
- Utilization: More effective use of medical services and fewer unnecessary phone calls and visits
- Satisfaction and referrals: Patients are more likely to stay with one practice and refer other patients
- Risk management: Lower risk of malpractice when patients have realistic expectations
