  Poor Fair Adequate Good Excellent
Prior to attending this program, I did the following for respiratory device education:
  □ I assumed patients were being trained by Allied Health Care Providers (ex. Pharmacist, RN, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Educators) and so I rarely educated on proper device technique
  □ I did the majority of the respiratory device education for my patients
  □ Other _____________________________________________
After attending this program, I have instituted device education in the following manner:
  □ I now do the majority of the respiratory device education for my patients
  □ Although I do not do the majority of device education, I have trained my support staff and AHCP’s to ensure it is done properly and on a consistent basis for most of my patients
  □ I see the need for device education, however, I simply don’t have enough, and so far, for most patients, I still assume Allied Health Care Providers in my community (ex. Pharmacist, RN, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Educators) will educate my patients on proper device technique
  □ Other _____________________________________________
When I ask the patient, “Show me how you use your device”, it usually takes ____ minutes to review their technique and make effective adjustments:
  □ 1 minute □ 2 minutes □ 3–5 minutes □ 10 minutes
  □ Other (enter the exact number of minutes it takes you in the comment box)
Which view point best describes yours:
  □ Device education should be given regardless of why a patient is seeing me – upon every visit
  □ Device education should only be given to new and existing respiratory disease patients on device technique who are seeing me for their respiratory condition
  □ Device education should only be given to patients with new prescriptions
