Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT)

The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) is a structured way to evaluate how clear, understandable, and useful educational resources are for patients. It helps healthcare providers and organizations assess whether materials, like brochures or videos, effectively communicate health information so patients can make informed decisions. PEMAT looks at factors such as language simplicity, organization, and whether the material promotes patient understanding and engagement. This ensures that health information is accessible and empowering, ultimately supporting better health outcomes.
