Empower Patients to Manage Their Diseases … One Step at a Time   

Step by Step Patient Education

These patient-friendly booklets and tearpads:
  • Make it easy for clinicians to teach and patients to manage their disease states by using standardized materials
  • Provide personalized education of individual patient needs with fill-in-the-blanks and check boxes
Progress patients from dependent care to independent disease management by breaking information into pieces or steps so it isn’t overwhelming—they can move at their own pace.

Turn to Briggs

Step by Step standardizes your patient education with outcome-oriented tools. When your patients understand how to manage their diseases, everyone wins!

Discover the features of Step by Step:

  • Colorful illustrations and simplified language
  • Over 70 disease-state specific materials
  • Available in English and Spanish
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.”


Hear what providers and patients are saying...

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.
