Ongoing evaluation of patient education occurs by each member of the health care team who provides teaching according to the patient's teaching plan. Having the learner repeat what has been learned can help the nurse evaluate the teaching plan and adjust the plan for future patient education sessions. Future sessions should review what was learned previously and continue to add to what has been taught. Health care team members can view documentation on the electronic health record (EHR) before beginning an education session to determine the patient's progress in meeting educational goals.
