โœฆ Synopsis

Health-care professionals no longer have the option on whether or not to include patient health education into patient care. The U.S. Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) requires that patient and family education is provided in specifically identified areas. In order for health providing institutions to be approved, these standards must be met. Health-care providers, however, should realize that patient health education (PHE) can be delivered in a variety of ways and JCAHO does not set conditions as to which methods of delivery are applied. Several modes of PHE approaches are cited in this article, along with an example as to how to put them into practice.
