Patient Education Slide Teaching Unit

Summary

This unit is designed to help you educate and empower people to take steps to prevent diabetes. It covers epidemiology, high risk ethnic groups, risk assessment, risk reduction, children and teens at risk, and other available resources. We included the full set of the 64 slides as well as a shorter presentation of 25 core concept slides on the CD. Extensive leader's notes give you timely references and web links throughout for easy access to more information and resources. The unit includes two appendices that can be photocopied for lecture attendees: a glossary of terms and a diabetes risk assessment checklist. They are in PDF file format on the CD-ROM.

Because each slide is designed to stand alone, you can rearrange slides to create your own unique presentations or mix them with slides from other presentations. The slides are visually consistent with other units from this series.

Available in PowerPoint on CD-ROM format only.

Computer Requirements

• Operating System:
  • Windows® 95, 98, 2000, NT, ME, or XP
  • Mac OS 8.1 or higher
• Microsoft PowerPoint® application (not included on the CD)

Samples

This unit includes an accompanying text of extensive leader's notes. They'll save you many hours preparing and organizing your own presentation.

Each slide has its own page of leader's notes, including:

• reproduction of the slide image
• key messages
• supporting points
• suggested references for further information

In the CD-ROM, leader's notes are included in three formats: PowerPoint®, Word®, and PDF. (See sample PDF*)

Product FAQs

Not at this time.

Not at this time, but updates will become available as required.

This CD-ROM is deceptively simple to use. It is compatible with a Mac or a PC. In order to use the CD-ROM you must own the Microsoft PowerPoint® software and a word processing software.

Included on the CD-ROM is a set of PowerPoint® files which includes the complete unit (64 slides) as one file and each chapter as a separate file. This is simply for your convenience if you want to use the unit broken down into smaller groups of slides or you do not have enough computer memory to work with a large file of the complete unit. Put the CD in the drive. Open your software on your own computer, e.g. PowerPoint®. Through the open command of your software, you can locate the CD drive and click on the PowerPoint® file you want to open.

The text is provided in several ways— first in the PowerPoint® unit itself, then as a PDF file of how it appears as a printed text, and as a Word® rich text format file which you can open through your own word processing software through the open command.

The licensing agreement is on the CD in a separate folder.

We have included Adobe Acrobat Reader® 4.0 on the CD for your convenience in reading the PDF files of the text and the licensing agreement. If you do not already have the 4.0 version on your computer you can download it from this CD.

Only Microsoft PowerPoint at this time.

Yes, it is.

If you don't have enough computer memory to work with the complete file, we've also broken down the set into smaller groups of slides.

That's fine.

No, all slide content is approved by the AADE and is copyrighted. It can’t be changed or adapted without written permission of Milner-Fenwick.

Yes, you can create multiple presentations for varying audiences and time limitations for your own use only. They may be stored on your hard drive.

Yes, the leader’s notes are provided to assist you in planning and preparing your presentations. Feel free to customize the leader’s notes for your needs.

In this format the leaders notes do not come as printed text. They are on the CD-ROM in three formats. They accompany the slide images in all the PowerPoint files, they are included as a Word file, and also as a PDF file. You can print any leader’s notes pages from your PC in any of the three formats.

Yes, within specific guidelines. The printouts you distribute must be from slides used in the specific presentation. Those people receiving copies of the handouts must be attendees of the presentation. The handouts should acknowledge that the slides are taken from the AADE Patient Education Slide Teaching Program, Unit 1 An Overview of Diabetes and its Management, copyright 2003, Milner-Fenwick, Inc.

This would include any use independent of supporting a slide presentation. In other words, you can’t print handouts from the slide images and use them as a stand-alone educational resource.

Not without written permission. All uses as outlined above are strictly for educational settings only. In addition, all output and copies you make of the software, regardless of their form, and must prominently display Milner-Fenwick’s copyright notice.

The list price for the CD-ROM is for a single user at one facility. However if it is used within a specific department at a facility to serve the same group of patients, that would be acceptable. The slide set cannot be shared with anyone from another facility.

Not at the single user price. However a licensing arrangement can be worked out for any situation.
