Empowering Patients w/ Recorded Discharge Education: Dr. Andy Little, AdventHealth ER, Host: Julie Soukup

--Dr. Andy Little, Program Director for the ER at AdventHealth Central Florida discusses with Julie Soukup, host of Take 1: Patient Podcast, his experience recording patient interactions for better communication and patient education. He shares that he has been recording discharge instructions since 2017, particularly for pediatric patients and those with complex diagnoses. A small study at Doctor's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, revealed providers' concerns about being recorded despite acknowledging patients' right to do so. Dr. Little emphasizes the benefits of recording, such as reducing misunderstandings and improving patient outcomes. He has not faced any legal issues from recording and believes it empowers patients to make informed decisions about their care.
