While information handouts are commonly used in healthcare education, this paper is about social workers systematically developing and using them to provide timely, efficient, and ultimately better patient care for concrete services and discharge planning. How to identify topics and suggestions for composing user-friendly handouts are discussed. Many clinical uses for handouts are considered including: engaging, assessing, and empowering patients, groups, and families. Related uses are considered such as educating the treatment team and students. How handouts can be a crucial bridge to developing a comprehensive, focused social resource database is considered. Follow-up survey results with an inner city VA social work staff (N= 41) confirm that social work discharge planners and non-discharge planners find systematically developed handouts valuable for providing efficient, better patient care.
虽然信息手册在医疗保健教育中普遍使用，但本文探讨的是社会工作者如何系统地开发和使用这些手册，以便为具体服务和出院计划提供及时、高效且最终更好的患者护理。文中讨论了如何识别主题以及撰写用户友好型手册的建议。还考虑了手册在临床中的多种用途，包括：使患者、群体和家庭参与、评估并赋予他们权力。也考虑了相关用途，例如对治疗团队和学生进行教育。此外，还探讨了手册如何成为建立全面、有针对性的社会资源数据库的关键桥梁。对市中心退伍军人管理局社会工作 staff（N = 41）的后续调查结果证实，社会工作出院计划者和非出院计划者都认为系统开发的手册对于提供高效、更好的患者护理很有价值。 （注：原文中“inner city VA social work staff”中的“staff”翻译为“工作人员”较合适，但整体文本此处表述不太完整，推测可能是想表达“工作人员团队”之类意思。）
