Abstract

Five electronic health record (EHR) generated patient education materials were compared to assess the reading level and comprehensibility for patients with diabetes to take action on foot care to prevent lower extremity amputation. Analysis indicated significant differences between education offered and comprehension enough to take action toward health.
