Staff and Patient Education

Two Keys to Home Health Care Success

Learn what you need as a home health professional to effectively treat

and manage your patient’s care while teaching them how to successfully

manage their medical conditions at home! The first part of the book,

“Staff Education,” will help orientate professionals to the specialty of

home health care and can be used as a basic introduction.

The majority of the book is centered on patient education—what the

patient needs to know to successfully manage their medical condition or

situation at home. In order for the patient to achieve maximum wellness,

they must understand their medical condition and the treatment

necessary to manage it. The teaching guides will empower                               **

home health professionals with the tools they need to spur their patient

on to wellness.

The handouts are written in a concise, easy-to-understand format    **

on the most common diseases, diets and medical procedures.

Each disease handout includes the definition of the disease, risk factors, common

signs and symptoms, disease management, and possible complications. A space is

provided on each handout for teaching the medication used for that disease.

With the help of this book, you can be sure that you are providing

your staff and patients with the tools that they need to be successful in

home health care!
