Healthcare information sharing
Patient education is the process of teaching people about their health conditions, treatments, and self-care practices.
Healthcare providers deliver patient education through conversations, printed materials, videos, or digital resources to help individuals understand diagnoses, manage medications, recognize warning signs, and make informed decisions about their care.
