    Patient Education Management 2004-04-01

    Foreign-language material reinforces teaching and improves outcomes

    For cost-effectiveness, set translation criteria

    Translating patient education materials into foreign languages is costly, so it is important to select those that would benefit the most patients. Without criteria to evaluate each piece, it is difficult to determine which ones should be translated. To take the guesswork out of the process, the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle created a set of criteria. Read More

    Watch for SADS signs; killer runs in the family

    Heart problems that cause sudden death in children often are uncovered following a tragedy. At that time, health care professionals look at other members of the family to see if there is a heredity disorder that resulted in the death. Read More

    Campaign promotes kids’ E.N.T. health
