PATIENT EDUCATION ISSUES
Older Adults Patient Education Issues Essay and Interview

There has been a major shift in healthcare to include the patient in all facets of care, from

admission to discharge and everywhere in-between. In the past, there was no collaboration

between the patient and healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals decided the best

method of teaching, usually not dedicated specifically to the individual patient, and the patient

was to understand everything that was being told to them and to follow what the healthcare

professionals determined for the to do without question, because to question would be considered

non-compliant. Since I have been in healthcare, there has been a revolution healthcare, patient-

centered healthcare. “Health professional’s fostering more patient-centered teaching to enhance

patient compliance and promote patient satisfaction” (Falvo, 2011, p. 222). By including

a formidable challenge to the health care providers to teach elderly patients due to the barriers

that come with old age like sensory changes, mental changes and chronic diseases” (Falvo,

2011). Tailoring our education based on each individual patient is an idea that healthcare

workers had to adapt to, but with this change, came great leaps between the patient-healthcare

worker relationship.

CAD with multiple stents, a four vessel coronary artery bypass grafting in 2000, and recently a

stay at the local hospital for near syncopal episode, where he was found to have complete heart
