About this study

Official title: Video Assisted Informed Consent for Lortab to Improve Patient Satisfaction and Knowledge: A Randomized Control Study

In order to compare two different forms of patient education; patients who receive Lortab medication or prescription during their ED visit are randomized to receive either standard patient education (from healthcare provider) or video assisted education. After education, patient completes a survey, estimated to take 5 minutes to complete.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare different methods of teaching patients about their prescription medicines. It is possible that certain teaching methods are better than others at educating patients.

Patients who receive Lortab medication or prescription during their ED visit and agree to the study are randomized to receive either standard patient education (from healthcare provider) or watch a 3 minute video. After the medication teaching has been provided the patient is given the medicine and a asked to complete a ten-question survey. This takes approximately five minutes and asks the patient to rate the quality of the information received.
