    Health Education Program
    NATIONAL PATIENT EDUCATION INITIATIVE
    - IHS Patient Education Protocols & Codes -


      14th Edition, January 2008:

    The Indian Health Service’s Patient Education Protocols and Codes (PEPC) are to be used to standardize the documentation of patient education encounters and from one health professional to another. Using these codes allows for the analysis of aggregate data and measurement of program effectiveness.

    Volume 1 of the Patient Education manual contains the information you need to know when you document Patient Education about a patient.

    Volume 2 of the Patient Education manual contains the protocols and codes for patient education, what protocols changed, and the index of the protocols.
      

    Below are each of the codes found in the 2008 Patient Education Protocols and Codes manual individually listed for quick reference:
