Hello! Kind of like the title says, I am a speech therapist looking to make activities to improve my patient’s health literacy. The purpose is not for me to educate them on their diagnosis since this is outside of my scope, but to help them become better listeners, note takers, and clarifiers for information they don’t understand.

This will entail presenting patients with some generic diagnosis/discharge/follow up/precautions information, then the patient will have to take notes, paraphrase, and identify words and concepts they don’t understand, etc.

My question to the subreddit is: if you were to design a note-taking cheat sheet for patient’s first and last (discharge planning) encounter with a medical professional, what would that look like? Thanks!
