The number of patients with chronic diseases is increasing and complications can occur if they do not receive proper treatment. Inadequate information provision and coordination among medical teams resulted in incomplete family knowledge of disease management. Nearly all chronic disease survivors rely on family members to meet their needs, but some families are not prepared to continue home care after they return home. A transformative approach to digital media education can be one of the efforts to increase the effectiveness of health education for patients and families. The aim of this activity is to increase the effectiveness of patient education in hospitals by using digital educational media to prepare patients for care at home. The activities include the collection of print and electronic educational media, harmonization of patient and family educational formats in all patient care departments, conversion of print media to electronic media, and building an integrated digital platform for patient and family education which is called e-health education. Furthermore, it will be tested, monitored, and evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the use of constructed digital educational media and to assess patient knowledge improvement, patient self-care skills, and family readiness to provide care at home.
