Description

Patient access to healthcare is changing, so we must too. As we take a fresh look at the patient-centered home and the changing demographics of our patient populations, let's also review our patient literature to ensure our language, images, and focus are relevant, timely and manageable to encourage patient compliance and better outcomes through self-care/preventative health education.

Instructors:
Laura Magennis, MSN, RNC-OB, RN-BC
