Engaging patients in their own health outcomes has become important for hospitals. That means it’s essential to communicate information about their conditions throughout their hospital stays. To do this effectively, your clinicians must be on board with delivering information to patients in language they can easily understand.
Many doctors may not be used to the idea of talking about diagnoses and treatments using language that’s free of medical jargon. But giving patients clear explanations of health-related information makes them more active partners in their care and recovery, allowing them to make informed decisions about their health.
