“Our vision is to create a health literate, jargon-free community for all health care consumers,” says HLA Chief Content Expert and Multilingual Director Aracely Rosales. “By availing more Health Literacy Advisor licenses and enhancing access to this tool, we are hoping to help more health communicators create plain language.”
About Health Literacy
The U.S health care system maintains one of the most sophisticated health care delivery systems in the world. However, in spite of the many advances in treatment and technology, a major barrier exists: Nearly half of all U.S. adults lack the skills necessary to read, understand, and act on their own health such as how to take their medications or understand basic health care instructions. This issue is known as low health literacy. Low health literacy is a stronger predictor of health status than age, income, employment, education, race, or ethnicity. An estimated 80 million Americans have low health literacy, which not only causes medical errors, high rates of hospitalization, death, and poor health care outcomes, but is estimated to cost the U.S. economy up to $236 billion annually.
