The data show a significant
correlation between the attainment of knowledge
(tables 7-9) and behavior (table 6). In addition,
if acceptable behavior can result in fewer hospital
readmissions and days, then tables 2 through 5
must also be considered. A greater knowledge of
diet, drugs, and the disease, offered by all members
of the team as a part of the treatment, resulted
in less use of hospital days by patients.
