Patient Education Protocols and Codes

21st Edition, October 2014

The Indian Health Service's Patient Education Protocols and Codes (PEPC) are to be used to standardize the provision and the documentation of patient/health education. The use of the PEPCs standardizes the documentation of patient/health education encounters from one health professional to another. Using these codes allows for the analysis of aggregate data and measurement of program effectiveness. The codes may also be found in the IHS Standard Book of Codes.
