Abstract

Patients will learn more readily if you teach them what they want to know, in a way suited to their style of learning. The current emphasis in education is on the learner: What is that learner like? What are his or her beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors? What is his or her level of knowledge? You need to know all these things--and more--when you embark on a program of patient education. This article offers a step-by-step guide in determining your patients' educational needs.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
