Abstract

Successful patient outcomes rely heavily on patient engagement, patient/family education, and promotion of self-management. Teach-back methodology offers the healthcare team a proven technique to determine learner's health literacy and true understanding of post-acute care needs. Based on supportive literature the following PICOT (problem, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) question was developed: For medical/surgical patients, can teach-back methodology utilized during teaching improve patient satisfaction as measured by transitional care HCAHPS scores over a 12-week period? The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice (Iowa Model) was utilized to implement an evidence-based practice (EBP) intervention training nurses to use teach-back methodology for all education.
