Webinar Description

This interactive webinar will focus on the teach-back method, including how it incorporates health literacy principles, and what resources are available to help you implement the practice. Teach-back involves checking for understanding by asking patients to state in their own words what they need to know or do about their health. It is not a test of the patient’s knowledge, but a way to confirm that you have explained things in a manner the patient understands.
