“…To achieve and maintain validity, patienteducation endeavors must include quality improvement measures (Miller & Capps, 1997). To attain that goal, a patient-educa-tion satisfaction survey was developed in consultation with an oncology nurse researcher whose input increased the clarity of the terminology and consistency in the desired data.…”

Surgical treatment for head and neck cancer includes a variety of complex operative procedures. Patients scheduled for these operations often are presented with overwhelming amounts of information. Even after participating in the multidisciplinary, preoperative teaching process, they may be unable to fully comprehend the treatment plan. Pathways for head and neck surgery were designed to facilitate the patient- and family-education process and assist the patient in navigating through the surgical experience. This article discusses head and neck surgery pathway development, implementation, and outcome evaluation.

“…Domains of interest included hospital characteristics, resources allocated to community stroke education, barriers to implementing community stroke education, actual community stroke education practices and whether they included ‘best practices’, readiness to adopt externally developed stroke education tools and willingness to adopt stroke education practice guidelines. Best practices for stroke education as determined by the Task Force were derived from adaptations of The Joint Commission standards for patient education, stroke literature review and expert opinion (Kerns et al, 2011; Miller and Capps, 1997; Powers et al, 2018; Stern et al, 1999; Williams et al, 2018). Examples of these best practices were provided as choice items in the survey (Table 3) and include post-discharge follow-up phone calls to ensure prevention activities (e.g.…”

Objective: Community stroke education is a regulated, integral component of stroke systems of care. However, little is known about the types of activities conducted by hospitals. This study was designed to examine the annual requirement for community stroke education among New York State’s 119 designated Primary Stroke Centres and identify areas for improvement that may have an implication on stroke outcomes. Design: Cross-sectional survey design Setting: All 119 New York State designated Primary Stroke Centres were invited to participate. Methods: Participating hospitals completed a 29-item online questionnaire assessing multiple domains related to community stroke education including hospital characteristics, allocated resources, implementation barriers, current community stroke education practices and willingness to adopt best practice guidelines. Data were analysed using univariate descriptive and chi-square statistics. Results: Eighty-eight percent of hospitals completed the survey (105/119). Respondents were mostly stroke coordinators and stroke directors. Stroke outreach education was conducted two to four times per year in 58% of the hospitals ( n = 69). Community stroke education included behavioural risk factor modification, the detection of stroke risk through screening and stroke preparedness education at health fairs. Although 95% of hospitals ( n = 98) reported using at least one best practice approach for these activities, evaluation was generally poor, with only about 23% ( n = 24) implementing outcome-specific assessments. Major barriers to stroke outreach were inadequate staffing, time constraints and lack of funding. Conclusion: Hospital-driven community stroke education efforts occur infrequently and are poorly evaluated. This component of stroke systems of care would benefit from guidelines from regulatory agencies, which currently do not exist.

“…With the new guidelines, the focus of patient education became more multidisciplinary. 5 More specifically, standard PC 6.10 (Provision of care, treatment and services) of the 2006 JCAHO Hospital Manual states: "The patient receives education and training specific to the patient's needs and as appropriate to the care, treatment, and services provided." The rationale for PC 6.10 is that patients must be given sufficient information to make decisions and to take responsibility for self-management activities related to their needs.…”

Collaboration to Improve Education after Liver Transplant: The Experience at Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Education after a liver transplant can be an overwhelming experience for transplant recipients. Clinical nurse specialist graduate students with the assistance of the liver transplant clinical nurse specialist at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center developed a multidisciplinary tool for documenting posttransplant education. By creating 1 central document in which all disciplines provide evidence of posttransplant education, all members of the healthcare team are afforded an efficient system for tracking progress in patients' education and for eliminating duplicative teaching.
