| Patient education information | Providing patients with useful and appropriate sources of educational information is an important component of patient care. The resources included in this section of the module are sources of information that are recommended for patient use. In some instances, one might choose to download and print materials from a site to use as patient handouts. In others, one might choose to refer patients directly to the site(s). In all cases, communication with patients and families about information is an important and expected component of care. |
