- Cycle of Patient Education
- Cycle of Online Information and Physician Education

The two cycles work together as two interlocking cogwheels (TIC).

Cycle of Patient Education (click here to enlarge the image). An editable copy for your presentation is available at Google Docs.

Cycle of Online Information and Physician Education (click here to enlarge the image). An editable copy for your presentation is available at Google Docs.

Byproducts of the Cycle of Patient Education

- Energy! (energized and engaged patients)
- Improved understanding of patient's condition, outcomes and quality of life
- Better physician-patient relationship
- Increased referrals to the practice, e.g. 2-5 new patients per week
- Savings for the health system
