Patient/caregiver education was used to help reduce hospitalizations by 48% of the participants in the Briggs National Quality Improvement/ Hospitalization Study. “All the patients admitted to home care should receive information about preventing the deterioration of their condition. Standardized teaching tools should be used whenever possible.”

The Step by Step patient education materials are great because they are truly ‘step by step’. Each clinician knows what the person before them did. Written at a language level patients can understand, the materials allow patient education to be done in-between clinician visits. I would recommend them as part of a comprehensive disease management system of care.

Our patients love them and they make teaching easier on the nurses. The pictures and writing are very good, easy to read and understandable for our patient population. Everything is in one book; nice and neat! Caregivers and family members enjoy as well.
