Patient Education Modules were created to disseminate surgery information. Surgery can be a life altering decision and too ma ... ny people enter the operating room ill prepared for the potential consequences of this decision and are often disappointed with the outcome. Patients may feel that their physician has not explained the risks and benefits of their upcoming procedure in a manner that is complete and understandable. Patient Education provides information in an easy, yet comprehensive format that hopefully will empower each patient to make an informed decision regarding their surgery and to have realistic expectations of the results. We do not attempt to enter the physician-patient relationship, but to augment it. Our purpose is neither to persuade nor dissuade the patient from having an operation; it is to open the avenue of communication between physician and patient so that trust can be achieved. Surgery is a life altering event. Hot lights, cold steel. Will I get better? Will my pain go away? Am I making the right decision? The questions go on and on. The most frightening part is the feeling of helplessness and doubt. You will spend time with your surgeon proactively and although he may try to answer all your questions, you may not know what questions to ask. This patient education process gives you the questions. In your own home, at your own pace, you will learn about your surgical procedure and potential exposures, why it's done, how it's done, the complications and the realistic expectations. You will be empowered with information to make an informed decision regarding the risks and benefits of your operation. Patient Education is a resource guide for the patient which provides the medical provider with a "billable event" from the administration of these assessments and also provides the surgeon with a level of risk mitigation.. These assessment outcomes are completed and directed upon completion to the provider's Cloud "Dashboard" Account. read more
