The Challenge of Healthcare LiteracyAs healthcare has become more complex, the ability of a large percentages of the population to understand their own healthcare needs, prescriptions and other medical instructions and make informed choices has not kept pace. The entire healthcare profession must make an effort to offer healthcare information in a manner that makes it comprehensible to all, without creating a sense of shame for those with healthcare literacy problems. All providers must employ strategies that ensure that all information is clearly understood. This program provides healthcare personnel information and techniques to use when facing the challenges and risks of low healthcare literacy, and describes what actions to take to help all patients make informed healthcare choices
