Literacy VS Health Literacy
Almost everyone will have difficulty with
health literacy at some point.
Much harder for those that do not:
Read very well.
Speak English as their primary language.
![Page 10: Health Literacy 101 - UW Family Medicine & Community Health · Hospital experience improving quality and patient safety through effective communication. ... 2:45 PM Multidisciplinary](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050423/5f925309c3e7b106913122a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Two Sides to the Equation
It’s all about effective communication
Verbal
Written
Multi-media
It has to be presented in a way that is
understandable to most people.

Re-Designing What We Do
Team effort
Everyone understands the impact and magnitude of the problem
Health literacy or integrated into existing committee
Infuse health literacy concepts in new programs and redesign of current processes

Re-Designing What We Do
Improved discharge process
ReEngineering Discharge project (RED)
Up to 30% fewer re-hospitalizations
Find, develop and use plain language materials

A Comment About Screening
Many screening tests available
None measure “health literacy”
If only 12% of adults are “proficient” at health literacy (NAAL) then why should we screen?

The Difference One Word Can Make
Ask the right question:
Is there something else you want to address in
the visit today?
Is there anything else you want to address in
the visit today?
Reducing patients’ unmet concerns in primary care: The difference one word can make.Heritage j, et al. J Gen Int Med 2007:22;1429-1433.

Something VS Anything
280 patients, 20 clinicians, acute care visits
Using “some” reduced unmet concerns by
78%
Using “any” was no better than usual care
No change in visit length

Summary
Low literacy is a common problem
Low literacy affects health
Effective communication is the key

The Vision
Every patient or their caregiver
understands what the problem is,
what to do about it and why it’s
important.
