 • How can patient teaching be adapted to best meet the
needs of a variety of patients, such as older adults,
those from diverse cultural backgrounds, and
individuals who have little education and few literacy
skills?
• How should patient education be reimbursed?
• The answer to these questions depends upon a solid
research base, much of which can be done by nurses.
According to Abruzzesse, it has been predicted that patient
education will take on new dimension on the following:
• Most teaching will occur in the ambulatory care
setting.
• Use of computer-based instruction for hospital,
ambulatory care settings, physician offices or homes
will increase.
• Use of interactive video program will increase.
• Emphasis on illness prevention and health promotion.
• Emphasis on illness prevention and health promotion.
• Inter organizational linkages to enhance cooperative
endeavors in patient’s education.
• Third-party reimbursement will increase as cost
benefit ratios demonstrate the cost effectiveness of
consumer education.
EMPHASIS ON GREATER WELLNESS
• After decades of working with healthcare and medical
organization to raise awareness of the need for
disease prevention and wellness education.
• Health education and health information
counseling has become more important than ever.
The need for credentialed educators has never been
greater.
• The Affordable Care Act and other mandated
programs, ensures health plans available in the
individual and small group markets, offer a
comprehensive package of items and services,
known as essential health benefits.
HEALTH CARE REFORM LEGISLATION
OUTLINES THE FOLLOWING
REQUIREMENTS FOR WORKPLACE
WELLNESS PROGRAMS
• Health awareness initiatives, including health
education and preventive screenings.
• Efforts to maximize employee engagement,
including mechanisms to encourage employee
participation.
• Initiatives to change unhealthy behaviors and
lifestyle choices, including counseling, seminars,
online programs, and self-help materials.
• Supportive environment efforts, including
workplace policies to encourage healthy lifestyles,
healthy eating, increased physical activity and
improved mental health.
THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT
• Third-party reimbursements can be used in any
business but are most common in the health care
industry.
• The patient is the first party.
• The health care or service provider is the second
party and the third party is an insurance company.
Instead of requiring the patient to pay at the time the
facility provides a service, an insurance company
receives the bill.
As a health care provider, it is your decision whether to
accept health insurance.
HOW IT WORKS
• The patient provides proof of insurance before
receiving services.
• The advantages to accepting health insurance include:
o Patients who are more likely to see a doctor
that accepts their insurance.
o Referrals from the insurance company.
o Easy handling of claims submission and
quick claims reimbursement
• The advantage of the payment rate dictated by the
insurance company of the services, the patient cannot
be bill for the difference.

INTERNET AND HEA LTH INFORMATION
• With the advent of Internet communication,
patients have become exposed to an enormous amount
of health information and can be confused about what
is appropriate for them and their unique health
concerns.
• Today’s health consumers want, and expect, to be a
partner in their health care decision making.
• Providing evidence-based health information that is
easily understood and utilized is the challenge facing
many health and medical practices today.
ACCREDITATION OF HEALTHCARE
ORGANIZATIONS (JC AHO) &
HOSPITALS IDENTIFIED THESE KEY
GUIDELINES WHICH INCLUDE:
• Placing the patient at the center of their health care
decision making treating the person as a whole.
• Evidence based health education for the prevention
and disease management.
• Medicard/Medicare initiatives.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES, NEW SETTINGS,
AND ENVIRONMENTAL LINKAGES
• Patient education and entertainment systems allow
hospital staff to deliver and document health education
to patients, and to train patients on how to access
their health records online.
• They also can be used to conduct surveys to gather
data and improve the patient experience.
• The tablet also lets hospitals deploy additional apps
alongside the platform — apps that will only run on
an android or iOS (iPad) tablet.
• Smartphone, tablets and other devices offer important
benefits, they can be harder to manage and create
an additional burden on hospital staff.
• Electronic whiteboards that use real-time locating
system (RTLS) technology are a relatively new
development in patient education and entertainment
systems.
• SONIFI Health has developed is Staycast. uses
Google Chrome cast to provide patients and families
with the familiarity of home by enabling them to
stream content — Netflix, Hulu and more — from
their mobile apps to the TV in the hospital room.
• Data collection is another benefit of the latest patient
education and entertainment systems, which connect
with EHR and RTLS.
• Real-time data is highly valuable to both patients
and providers, Displays can show information such
as the names of providers or a patient’s most recent
vitals.
• Pushing a patient satisfaction survey through the
interactive TV can help identify and address concerns
before patient discharge. “Knowing which patients are
dissatisfied with certain issues helps staff identity.
Reimbursement – a sum paid to cover money that has been
spent for health care
Wellness – state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity

TECHNOLOGY IN PATIENT EDUCATION
• Technology/Information Age
o Also known as Computer Age or digital age
o Characterized by change in focus from
industry to information.
o Made information more accessible, resulting
in dramatically different world
o Adults and children have came to depend to
mobile technology
o Computers and information technologies
have become more than tools to make life
easier

our society and on education is related to their
capacity to assist in the collection,
management, transportation and
transformation of information at a high
speed.
o People benefit from the availability of
information but also are challenged to keep
up with the vast amounts of information that
are continually bombarding them from all
directions
▪ If technology has changed the way
people learn, then it must also
change the way we teach.
▪ Educators must be prepared to meet
the learning needs and learning style
of 21st century children

where healthcare consumers can share experiences are
readily available
“65% of consumers who go to the Web for health
information will follow up with healthcare providers
whereas the remaining 35% will use the information to treat
themselves at home” - Fox and Duggan (2013)
STRATEGIES OF USING TECHNOLOGY
