Participant Flow

16 medical and surgical hospital units were included, intensive care units were excluded. Convenience sample of 4 units (2 surgical and 2 medical) received the intervention. The remaining 12 units (5 surgical and 7 medical) served as control and received no intervention. Pre-Intervention data were retrospectively assessed

Baseline Characteristics

Each row represents a different period of the study (pre intervention and post intervention) with different number of participants. Overall number of participants represents the number of unique patients in the study. These numbers reflect patient visits at baseline and following the implementation of the patient education intervention.

Patient Visits received the Patient-centered education bundle: A patient-centered education bundle that will be delivered as an in-person, 1-on-1 discussion session with a nurse educator. Supporting education materials include a 2-page patient education sheet and a patient education video. This trial treats each visit as a separate enrollment and as a result it is only appropriate to consider the participant at the visit level. The outcomes assessed for this trial were analyzed on the patient visit level, as each visit represents a totally unique participant outcome. For example, Patient A might receive all doses during the first admission to the hospital but the same Patient A might miss doses during a second hospitalization. Similarly, Patient A might have been in Arm 1 during the first hospitalization and in Arm 2 during the second hospitalization.
