Patient Education Documents allows the user to select and print patient education documents for the patient. This app utilizes the Micromedex CareNotes™ database. Quarterly updates ensure that providers have the latest patient care information available. These documents provide patients with education ranging from general information about a topic to discharge instructions. The documents are written at a 6th - to 8th-grade reading level in English and Spanish. Patient Drug Information is also accessible via the Patient Education Documents application.
