Our program takes into account the diverse needs of our patients and provides personalized educational materials to aid in their understanding.
The Benefits of Teach-Back
Teach-Back has proven to be an effective method of improving patient outcomes and reducing misunderstandings. By actively engaging patients and their families in the learning process, we empower them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their healthcare journey.
Here are some key benefits of the Teach-Back program:
- Enhanced Communication: Teach-Back promotes effective communication between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. It ensures that information is communicated accurately and comprehensively.

- Personalized Education: We recognize that each patient is unique, and our program tailors educational materials to suit their specific needs, language preferences, and cultural backgrounds.
How Teach-Back Works
Teach-Back is a simple yet powerful technique that involves patients and caregivers repeating or explaining the information they have received. It helps healthcare providers to gauge their understanding and identify areas that need further clarification or reinforcement.
During your visit at Gillette Children's, Dr. Foley James D MD and our dedicated team will guide you through the Teach-Back process. We will:
- Present Information: Our healthcare provider will present information regarding your child's diagnosis, treatment options, and any necessary instructions.
