Patient education can have a major
benefit on patient knowledge, compliance and outcomes.
The following outlines ways in which physicians can provide
effective patient education:
- Having patients write down questions/concerns
prior to the visit
- Listening to the patient
- Explaining the medication prescribed
- Ensuring the patient has understood the information
- Determining if there are likely
to be problems with compliance to a prescribed treatment
regimen
- Writing down the diagnosis and
treatment and giving the patient written materials
about the condition
- Encouraging patients in their
efforts to manage their disorder
- Using other health professionals
to help with education and referring patients to organized
arthritis programs.
