Education is essential throughout the continuum of care.
To assure consistency in teaching, the UMHS supports a standardized approach in the use of educational materials but takes into account individual patient's preferences and barriers in the delivery of education. Documentation in the medical record shall demonstrate collaborative, interdisciplinary management of the patient and family's care and ongoing evaluation of the need for additional learning resources. PEOC serves as a resource to faculty and staff in the development of appropriate and current educational materials and methods. The committee chair is appointed by the Chief, Office of Clinical Affairs. Committee membership shall include representatives from relevant disciplines and departments that contribute to the provision of patient and family education throughout the Health System.
