Patient information issues in the ambulatory surgery setting.
1. Patient compliance is a complex behavior that includes compliance with medication administration, lifestyles modifications, and all subsequent health care interventions. 2. Barriers to compliance should be identified and eliminated (if possible) to increase compliance. 3. Using multiple education techniques may be necessary if patient distractors are present.
