Ensure Understanding

Conclude the visit by making sure the patient understands: l what the main health issue is

l what he or she needs to do about it

l why it is important to do it

One way to do this is the “teach-back method”—ask patients to say what they understand from the visit. Also, ask if there is anything that might keep the patient from carrying out the treatment plan.
