Which Epic component provides patient education materials and discharge instructions?

• A. Patient Education
• B. Educational Tools
• C. Discharge Planner
• D. Education Center

Answer: (A)

Patient Education is the part of Epic that houses patient-facing materials and prints or presents discharge instructions. It provides an approved library of patient education resources and can tailor or attach discharge instructions to a patient’s chart, ensuring consistent, easy-to-understand information is given at the point of care. The Discharge Planner focuses on coordinating discharge logistics and workflows rather than delivering educational content. The Education Center is typically used for staff training resources, not patient-facing PEMs or discharge instructions. Educational Tools isn’t the standard Epic component for providing patient education materials.
