Hinweis der Redaktion
- Let’s start out with the definition of health literacy. The definition that has evolved over the years. The most recent change came from the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010; the word “communicate” was added. This makes it even clearer that a health literate individual is not a passive receiver of health information but is engaged in an exchange of information. It also underscores that health literacy is not limited to comprehending written information, but includes verbal communication as well.
- Only 12 percent of adults had Proficient health literacy. In other words, nearly nine out of ten adults may lack the skills needed to manage their health and prevent disease. Over half of Black Americans and two-thirds of Hispanic Americans did not reach the Intermediate level. An example of an intermediate task is understanding the correct dosage of a drug based on reading an over-the-counter drug label.
- Limited health literacy contributes to the “cycle of crisis care,” illustrated here.
- Published in April 2010, the National Action Plan is a product of public-private collaboration, through town hall meetings held in NYC, Sacramento, St. Louis, and Tampa. Develop and disseminate health and safety information that is accurate, accessible, and actionable Promote changes in the health care system that improve health information, communication, informed decisionmaking, and access to health services Incorporate accurate, standards-based, and developmentally appropriate health and science information and curricula in child care and education through the university level Support and expand local efforts to provide adult education, English language instruction, and culturally and linguistically appropriate health information services in the community Build partnerships, develop guidance, and change policies Increase basic research and the development, implementation, and evaluation of practices and interventions to improve health literacy Increase the dissemination and use of evidence-based health literacy practices and interventions
- The term “health literate organization” was coined by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Health Literacy.
- Inspired by the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services, we defined a set of 10 attributes of a health literate organization. These attributes are most relevant to organizations that provide direct care to patients, but also relevant to health care professionals, and to the broader range of organizations and institutions such as payors and health plans, vendors of health information technology and patient education products, accreditation and credentialing organizations, and benefits managers.
- Makes clear and effective patient communication a priority across all levels of the organization and across all communication channels. Applies health literacy universal precautions, whereby communication is simplified to the greatest extent possible and comprehension must be demonstrated by all because no assumptions are made as to who understands or needs extra assistance. Include an explicit commitment to be health literate in the organization’s mission statement, policies, and programs. Assign responsibility for health literacy oversight (e.g., a health literacy officer or high-level health literacy task force) Set goals for health literacy improvement, provide incentives to achieve those goals, and establish accountability for sub-optimal outcomes at every level of the organization. Allocate fiscal and human resources necessary to effectively and efficiently meet health literacy improvement goals (e.g., funds for editing and testing materials with target audiences, extra time to support individuals who need additional reinforcement or assistance, funds and time for health literacy training). Cultivate health literacy champions throughout the organization. Redesign systems to maximize individuals’ capacities to learn how to maintain good health, manage illness or disease, communicate effectively, and make informed decisions. Contribute to local, state, and national efforts to improve organizational responses to health literacy.
- Develop and routinely collect metrics to measure the success of their system in achieving the health literacy attributes and to identify areas for further improvement Design and conduct rigorous program evaluations of health literacy interventions and activities. Assesses the impact of policies and programs on individuals with limited health literacy Partner with researchers to build an evidence base for health literacy interventions. Use assessments, measurement, and evaluations to inform continuous quality improvement. Ensure that patient surveys are designed to be understandable and easy to complete, and offer and provide assistance in completing surveys. Conduct root cause analysis of patient safety events to uncover and address communication failures.

- HCAHPS Item Set for Addressing Health Literacy Did hospital staff tell you how to take care of yourself after you left the hospital? Were these instructions easy to understand? Did hospital staff ask you if you would have any problems taking care of yourself immediately after you left the hospital? Did you get instructions in writing about how to care for yourself immediately after you left the hospital? Were the written instructions easy to understand?

- Support staff in attending specialized health literacy training outside the organization. Bring in outside experts to augment in-house training resources. Develop ‘expert educators’ with cross-cutting educational skills who can serve as role models, mentors, and teach health literacy skills to others. Identify and implement appropriate new curricula. Collaborate with patients who can be effective speakers and trainers
