Patient Education

Individual Patient Education

Patients meet one-on-one with a healthcare provider to individualize patient education for the patient and family based on the assessed needs. The individual teaching supports the plan of care determined by the healthcare provider and patient. Skills such as inhaled medication technique and peak flow technique often include a return demonstration by the patient. Problem solving is incorporated into the teaching.
