ISMP Targeted Best Practice #2: methotrexate education

At our facilities the pharmacists provide discharge counseling and instructions for patients being discharged home on methotrexate.

They have asked if there are any exclusions to education if the patient has had a recent admission and education session on a previous admission (for example, patient was admitted within the last month and received education at that visit).

Are any of you excluding patients from receiving education if they have previously had the education completed within a certain time frame?
