Summary

This prospective study aims to analyze the influence of standardized after visit instructions (AVI) and teach back (TB) method on patients' understanding of health information. The study divided routine clinic patients into three groups: standard care, standardized AVI, and standardized AVI with TB. Patient health literacy, satisfaction, and AVI comprehension were gauged through surveys and post-visit follow-up calls. The investigators hypothesized that there would be an improvement in patient comprehension with the standardized AVI or TB when compared to controls.
