I meant more about patient education in general rather than specifically discharge instructions. also, from my experience, the stories of patients not understanding something about their discharge and then being readmitted because of that lack of understanding is far less than the cases of patients being readmitted simply because they chose not to follow specific instructions regarding their health.
