Abstract: A computer-assisted method and system for generating customized patient education documents on site and on demand at a medical or other health care practice. Said method eliminates the cost of purchasing educational materials, the need for physical storage of printed materials and the staff time required to order, store and maintain an inventory of educational materials. The method allows users to generate educational materials in languages other than English to respond to the educational needs of patients without fluency in English. The method allows users to customize printed documents with patient name and practice identity. The method allows users to edit, revise or create new documents which can be stored, customized and retrieved as part of the system. The method automatically prints out an informed consent document after all selected patient documents have been printed, showing patient name, date, and the list of documents provided to the patient.
