Patients are generally keen to understand and obtain more information about their medical conditions. There exists a need to develop updated and thorough yet concise patient education handouts and to encourage healthcare providers (HCPs) to use uniform patient education methods. A thorough review of literature on patient education material was performed prior to starting the study. A comparison with different resources regarding the appropriateness of patient education was done. Educating HCPs to effectively use patient educational materials incorporated into the electronic health record system, including electronic methods, such as the use of a patient portal, to help educate patients. Strategies were formulated to reduce the amount of processing and attending time required for fetching appropriate materials and lead to fast, efficient, and effective patient education. To improve the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of a patient, personalized patient education handouts, in addition to verbal education by the HCPs, augment the betterment of patient care via shared decision making and by improving patient satisfaction and health literacy.
患者通常渴望了解并获取更多有关其医疗状况的信息。有必要编写更新、全面且简洁的患者教育手册，并鼓励医疗服务提供者（HCPs）采用统一的患者教育方法。在开展本研究之前，对有关患者教育材料的文献进行了全面回顾。就患者教育的适宜性与不同资源进行了比较。培训HCPs有效使用纳入电子健康记录系统的患者教育材料，包括电子方法，如使用患者门户网站来帮助教育患者。制定了策略以减少获取合适材料所需的处理和就诊时间，并实现快速、高效且有效的患者教育。为改善患者的身体和心理社会福祉，除了HCPs的口头教育外，个性化的患者教育手册通过共同决策以及提高患者满意度和健康素养，增强了患者护理的改善效果。
