Wk 4 – Guiding Patient Education
Assignment Content PART 1
Patient education sessions need to evolve with the health care industry. This assignment challenges you to rethink patient education by looking at adult education principles as you guide patients to reputable sources for further review. This tool is something you would give a patient. Remember, patient education materials should contain LOTS of graphics and text should be at a 6th grade level or below.
Create a patient education tool for any ailment or health promotion activity. The tool should promote patient competency and e-health literacy. Consider:
o How patients can/will use the tool
o Patient experience managing this ailment
o Community resources such as public libraries, parks and recreation community centers, and neighborhood service centers for free computer and internet access
o Patient ability to perform basic computer functions
o Graphs, charts, labels, or other visual information the consumer is likely to see
o Direction for how to search and apply relevant online information
Format your assignment as one of the following:
o online module Building webpages is not my forte. There are many free programs that allow you to create a webpage and that is all I am looking for, an educational webpage that a patient could go to for information. Here is an example that a very creative student made, it has lots of pictures and not a lot of text, it is great for low literacy patients (40% of the population) : https://cardiovascularwisdom.wordpress.com/
o trifold brochure Open a Word document, go to File, choose New, in the search window type in Brochure. Download the one you like to your computer, replace the text and pictures with your own.
o Infographic https://www.canva.com/tools/Infographic-maker-v1/?utm_source=google_sem&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=REV_US_EN_CanvaPro_Infographic_EM&utm_term=REV_US_EN_CanvaPro_Infographic_EM&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8bD0v7H86AIVCf5kCh1IFwbJEAAYASAAEgIQj_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
