This session will describe educational concepts to enhance the orthopaedic patient experience. The elective nature of orthopedic surgery creates an opportunity to intervene with patients and family early and often throughout the episode of care. Multimodal teaching strategies (individual, group learning, written materials and web based tools) delivered prior to surgery and reinforced multiple times across care transitions can reduce anxiety, increase satisfaction, improve ability to manage pain and help patients feel more prepared for surgery.
Improving the patient experience is increasingly important as quality and satisfaction metrics are becoming linked to reimbursement. Transitional care interventions, such as discharge planning, follow up calls with emphasis on participation in self care have shown to improve continuity of care, reduce readmissions and prevent poor health outcomes.

–
–
–
–
–
Volume stats
Cost to educate
Outcomes associated?
Knowledge
Satisfaction
HCAHPS?
RS Laskin MD
13. Hospital Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS)
• Publicly reported survey of patients’

– Nursing & MD Care
• Courtesy, listen, teach, respond
• Manage pain, new meds, toileting
– Environment
• Clean, quiet
• Discharge disposition and transitions
RS Laskin MD
17. So is preop class best
practice?
• Pre-op program shows mixed results
– Anxiety, LOS, Pain, Expectations

outcomes
RS Laskin MD
19. Patient Education
“ …is more than just having the nurse
review discharge instructions prior to
leaving the hospital, it is a means for
the nurse to assist the patient in the
enhancement and expansion of his
ability to provide effective self-care”
(Bastable, 2006).
RS Laskin MD
20. Increased responsibility to
educate the patient’s family
members and caregivers d/t
shorter hospital stays and
earlier transitions to home
RS Laskin MD
21. Is there a best or most
effective method to teach
orthopaedic patients?
•
•
•
•
Combined teaching strategies
Repeated/reinforced three times
Patient/Family engagement
Grounded in multiple theory
RS Laskin MD
22. Transpersonal Caring
•
•
•

Well being, Wholenss & Healing
(Gallagher-Lepak and Kubsch, 2007)
RS Laskin MD
23. Watson’s 7th Carative
Factor…
• Promotion of transpersonal teachinglearning
– Interpersonal approach nurse to patient
and not information
– Assess readiness to learn
– Respect pre-existing knowledge
– Understand feelings about content,
goals/desired outcome
(Gallagher-Lepak and Kubsch, 2007)

to manage consequences of health
conditions
(Richard & Shea, 2011)
RS Laskin MD

to the condition.
● Document use of & response to teach-back.

will it influence behavior?
Education occurs if learning takes place
with a resultant change in behavior,
skill or attitude.
