    Background And ObjectivesWhile video discharge instructions have been shown to improve retention of information and patient satisfaction, data are limited regarding patient perceptions of video tools.MethodsWe conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess self-rated comprehension and overall satisfaction with video versus face-to-face neonatal discharge instructions in first-time mothers.ResultsVideo instructions were no different from face-to-face instructions, though there was a nonsignificant increase in confidence in caring for their newborn in the video group.ConclusionsBroader use of technology may allow for a more standardized approach to patient education and improve efficiency for clinicians, without compromising patient satisfaction and confidence in caring for themselves and their dependents.
