Low literacy and low health literacy are surprisingly rampant problems facing health care providers. Patient educators in all settings should consider the need for improved patient education materials that are easy to read and understand for the majority of patients. In the ambulatory surgery setting, patients often have time to prepare for scheduled outpatient surgery, yet education is provided primarily in the postoperative period. This article highlights the need for incorporating education into all phases of the perioperative process, beginning in the preoperative period. Perioperative educators should address all learning styles that provide education in a simple and cost-effective way to appeal to all patients and help to reduce postoperative complications and increase patient satisfaction in the ambulatory surgery setting.
低文化水平和低健康素养是医疗服务提供者面临的惊人普遍的问题。在所有环境中的患者教育者都应考虑是否需要改进患者教育材料，使其对大多数患者来说易于阅读和理解。在门诊手术环境中，患者通常有时间为预定的门诊手术做准备，但教育主要在术后阶段提供。本文强调了在围手术期过程的所有阶段，从术前阶段开始就纳入教育的必要性。围手术期教育者应针对所有学习风格，以简单且经济高效的方式提供教育，以吸引所有患者，并有助于减少门诊手术环境中的术后并发症，提高患者满意度。
