Abstract
The health care system in Canada is gradually shifting towards greater emphasis on patient involvement, health promotion and management of chronic illness. Nurses can play a key role in shaping these changes. This article provides an overview of several facets of the nurse's role in patient education: national policy guidelines, standards of care, research and exemplary patient education programs.
