222 - The Art of Patient Teaching (Or is It?)

Often, patient education is overlooked or done quickly for many reasons. Patient education is a fundamental aspect of patient care and yet poor education is one of the most common sources of patient complaints both in and out of the hospital. Ensuring patient understanding of their health condition is extremely important and can improve outcomes, adherence to the plan of care and patient safety. Patient education concepts and creative ways to interject patient teaching in encounters with urologic patients are discussed.
