Simpler ways to get handouts by computer A quick and relatively painless way to access computer-based patient education information is through the World Wide Web. By having your browser up and running and pointed to one of these sites, you can do a quick key word search and bring the desired document up on the screen for printing. Obtaining a disk or CD-ROM with patient education handouts ready to go is an even easier approach. You may have a method of your own that works well or you may have no problems at all with your paper filing system, and that's great. It doesn't really matter how delivery is accomplished, just so it is.
Patients clearly benefit from having a handout to refer to after they leave the clinic.
