NAAL Estimate of Health Literacy Skills

Who needs help with health literacy? "We are your family-members; we are your neighbors; we are your co-workers. We are small-business owners; we are first- responders. We are among the working poor; we are millionaires. Few ever know our truth. Because of shame and stigma, we keep it hidden."

Characteristics of Population with Low Health Literacy

Gender More men (16%) than women (12%) had Below Basic or Basic Literacy Skills Less men (51%) than women (55%) had Intermediate literacy skills Men had lower average health literacy scores (242) than women (248)

Older Americans Adults aged 65+ had the lowest average health literacy scores More Americans aged 65+ had Below Basic or Basic Skills than any other age group ( %) Adults with Medicare and Medicaid or no health insurance had the lowest average health literacy scores

Factors Affecting Patient Provider Communication Additional factors that may hinder understanding: Intimidation, fear, vulnerability Shock upon hearing a diagnosis Extenuating stress within the patient's family Multiple health conditions to understand and treat

Make Effective Communications an Organizational Priority Address Patients Communication Needs Across the Continuum of Care Pursue Policy Changes that Promote Improved Provider-Patient Communications

1. What is my main problem? 2. What do I need to do? 3. Why is it important for me to do this?

What Can You Do? Create a safe environment where patients feel comfortable talking openly with you Use plain language instead of technical language or medical jargon Sit down (instead of standing) to achieve eye level with your patient Use visual models to illustrate a procedure or condition Ask patients to "teach back" the care instructions you give to them From Askme3.org

Avoid Jargon Hypertension vs High Blood Pressure Fatigued vs Tired Acetaminophen vs Tylenol Febrile vs Feverish Myopathy vs Muscle Aches

NYS Patients Rights Advance directives are verbal or written instructions made by you before an incapacitating illness or injury… Advance directives communicate that your wishes about your treatment be followed if you are too sick or unable to make decisions about your care. Advance directives include but are not limited to a health care proxy, a consent to a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order recorded in your medical record, and a living will.

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify! Wikipedia Colonoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the large colon and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. It may provide a visual diagnosis (e.g. ulceration, polyps) and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected lesions.

Is Consent Informed?

Clear Communication What is clear to you is clear to you. Every patient should be a full partner in his or her medical decisions. This requires crystal-clear communication that is done with compassion and mutual respect. ~~ Toni Cordell, former adult literacy student and health literacy advocate
