UCHealth

Case Study

Client Overview

UCHealth, a prominent healthcare system in Colorado, comprises numerous hospitals and clinics across the state. They are dedicated to providing the highest quality care and improving the lives of their patients. In their pursuit of excellence, UCHealth recognized the need to enhance discharge medication teaching to ensure better patient outcomes.

Challenge

The healthcare journey doesn’t end at the patient’s discharge; it extends to the post-discharge phase where medications often play a pivotal role. Ensuring patients understand their medications is crucial for promoting healing and preventing readmissions. However, UCHealth identified inconsistencies in their discharge medication teaching approaches. Varied training methodologies and a lack of a universal education system had led to fluctuations in the quality of medication guidance given by different healthcare professionals. Recognizing the direct correlation between effective medication teaching and enhanced patient outcomes, UCHealth sought to standardize and uplift the training for their staff.
