| Popis: | M ANY PATIENTS make New Year's resolutions to follow treatment plans and diets more rigorously. The following patient report cards help patients achieve these aspirations. In addition to reinforcing laboratory, fluid, and adequacy of dialysis goals, these tools explain to patients how to improve undesirable results. Nutrition-related chemistries as well as the causes and effects of unacceptable results are listed. There is a section for the practitioner to customize the report by providing patient-specific suggestions for improvement. Positive feedback can also be incorporated to provide encouragement and highlight achievements. Report cards can be tailored to meet the goals of your facility and may be used monthly, quarterly, or yearly. One caveat to their use is that patients may come to expect these reports. Thus, before using this tool, the ongoing time required to complete these forms must be considered. Mthough all patients can benefit, new patients in particular find this teaching tool very valuable. The following dietitians at Everest Healthcare Services Corporation, Oak Park, IL were instrumental in developing these patient education tools: Claire Callahan, RD, CSR, LD, Pat Cooper, RD, CSR, LD, Mafia Karalis, RD, CSR, LD, Mary Rose Kellar, RD, CSR, LD, Teila Lichtman, RD, CSR, LD, Jenny Lowe, RD, CSR, LD, Fay Moore, RD, CSR, LD, Julie Prinsen, RD, CSR, LD, and Terrie Rydzon, RD, CSR, LD. Our experience has been that some patients anxiously await their laboratory results when displayed in this fashion. Additionally, report cards stimulate a lot of discussion, help motivate patients, increase understanding of the renal diet, and demonstrate improvement over time. We hope you find these educational tools to be as helpful with your patients as they have been with ours. |
