دانلود کتاب طرح تشخیصی – راهنمای تصویری برای تشخیص پزشکی برای مخاطبان غیر پزشکی

Diagnosketch is a visual aid to explain medical diagnoses to patients at the bedside. It uses simplified images to illustrate complicated anatomy and concepts. The title, Diagnosketch, combines the term “diagnosis” with the term “sketch,” paralleling the way the book combines a medical diagnosis with a simplified sketch. It includes common pathologies seen in an acute care setting, especially ones that are easier to explain with pictures. Many American patients are unfamiliar with human anatomy and common medical diagnoses. Research from the US Department of Education estimates that only 12% of English- speaking adults in the United States have proficient health literacy skills.1 Studies indicate that almost 90% of adults have difficulty understanding health information that is currently available.2 These patients are often unequipped to make important decisions about their own health care.
