Abstract
  • Engaging patients in the delivery of care, specifically the importance of complying with the discharge instructions requires strategies to meet individual patient needs based on health literacy and motivation to learn. Literature findings suggest that by implementing evidence-based best practice strategies for patient/family centered medication education readmission rates will decrease. Nurse led strategies such as the "teach-back" method for discharge instructions was implemented. The project focused on a population of adult patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Patients and or their caregivers were able to demonstrate accountability for self-management prior to discharge from the acute care setting.
