How Can Patient Education Impact Health Outcomes?

Educate Patients on Weight Loss Drugs 

In our case, educating our patients about the weight loss drugs they are about to take significantly impacts their expectations as well as results. When they know what side effects they could possibly experience and how to prevent them, clients can take proper measures to mitigate conditions like nausea, fatigue, heartburn, etc.

I also like to inform patients about how much weight they can anticipate losing in their first month. When we give them actual results about what we've seen, they tend to be more enthusiastic about the program, and they're not disappointed if they feel as though they haven't lost ENOUGH.
