University of Minnesota Two strategies for teaching lung and heart-lung transplant subjects to use an electronic sptrometer/diary instrument at home to input and transmit daily respiratory, vital sign, and symptom measurements were compared. The first strategy integrated teaching into subjects' postoperative clinic visits, whereas the second strategy involved referral to a Patient Learning Center (PLC) for instruction Adherence was increased by 30% when the teaching was transferred from the clinic setting to the PLC.
