A multidisciplinary patient education workshop to integrate staff training with program development.
A four session multidisciplinary workshop was held to teach Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center staff basic patient education design principles. During the sessions, staff, working in teams, designed patient education programs on a wide variety of health care topics. Guidance to teams was provided at each step of program development so that at the end of the workshop, programs were ready for implementation. Medical Center standards for patient education and documentation were integrated into program designs.
