住院患者出院说明为患者管理自己的护理提供了重要信息。这些说明通常是自由文本，患者不容易理解和记住。在这项试点研究中，我们通过参与式设计过程开发了一套象形文字，并用它们来增强两个模型放电指令。在 13 名健康志愿者身上进行测试，象形文字增强功能带来了具有统计学意义的更好的回忆率 (p<0.001)。这表明通过用象形文字补充自由文本可以提高患者对出院说明的理解和回忆。
Inpatient discharge instructions provide critical information for patients to manage their own care. These instructions are typically free-text and not easy for patients to understand and remember. In this pilot study, we developed a set of pictographs through a participatory design process and used them to enhance two mock-up discharge instructions. Tested on 13 healthy volunteers, the pictograph enhancement resulted in statistically significant better recall rates (p<0.001). This suggests that patient comprehension and recall of discharge instructions could be improved by supplementing free texts with pictographs.
