The purpose of this research is to look at how educational videos provided by doctors might
affect patients knowledge, satisfaction, confidence, and anxiety with post-operative Mohs
surgery care. Patients will be randomized to either: 1) a group that receives educational
videos in addition to standard-of-care written and verbal instructions or 2) a group that
receives only standard-of-care written and verbal instructions.

surgery care. Patients will be randomized to either: 1) a group that receives educational
videos in addition to standard-of-care written and verbal instructions or 2) a group that
receives only standard-of-care written and verbal instructions.
The Primary Objective of this study is to determine if video discharge instructions, when
added to standard of care written and verbal instructions, lead to a decrease in unnecessary
phone calls from patients in a Mohs dermatology clinic.
The Secondary Objectives of this study are to determine if video discharge instructions, when
added to standard of care written and verbal instructions, help to improve patients'
satisfaction with education materials provided by the clinic, improve patients' knowledge of
post-operative management, improve patients' confidence in taking care of their suture site
post-operatively, and reduce post-operative anxiety about their suture site.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial in which the impact of video discharge
instructions on patient calls, anxiety, and confidence will be evaluated. Patients will be
randomized using a permuted block model generated through SAS.
