Abstract | Lack of sufficient and effective medication education has resulted in low patient satisfaction scores on the Joint and Spine (JS2) unit at Miami Valley Hospital South. Improvements in the medication education process at all levels, from pre-operative to after discharge, could significantly improve overall patient satisfaction. Review of literature concerning medication education best practices indicates a need for evaluation and improvement of current practices. Recommendations for improvement based on best practices research can be implemented with commitment at all staff levels in an effort to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. |
