Education

Patient education is the process by which health professionals and others impart information to patients and their caregivers that will alter their health behaviors or improve their health status.
Health education may include both general preventive education or health promotion and disease or condition specific education.
Important elements of patients education are skill building and responsibility: patients need to know when, how, and why they need to make a lifestyle change.
