title: Interdisciplinary patient teaching plans: design and implementation.
abstract: Interdisciplinary teaching plans are standardized teaching plans that provide guidance for preparation and actual delivery of patient education. The development of interdisciplinary teaching plans serves to better actualize the ANA and NAON standards of practice, to provide for an interdisciplinary approach to patient teaching as recommended by JCAHO, and to create an efficient patient teaching documentation system. Teaching plans create a mechanism that allows individual disciplines to document patient responses to teaching, and the plans provide written information for the patient that promotes self-care management. This article discusses problem identification, the development process, the content model, teaching plan development, and the implementation process of interdisciplinary teaching plans in one large university medical center.
