According to Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion (IOM, 2004), nearly half of all American adults--90 million people--have inadequate health literacy to navigate the healthcare system. To address issues raised in that report, the Institute of Medicine convened the Roundtable on Health Literacy, which brings together leaders from the federal government, foundations, health plans, associations, and private companies to discuss challenges facing health literacy practice and research and to identify approaches to promote health literacy in both the public and private sectors. On November 30, 2010, the roundtable cosponsored a workshop with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles. Improving Health Literacy Within a State serves as a summary of what occurred at the workshop. The workshop focused on understanding what works to improve health literacy across a state, including how various stakeholders have a role in improving health literacy. The focus of the workshop was on presentations and discussions that address (1) the clinical impacts of health literacy improvement approaches; (2) economic outcomes of health literacy implementation; and (3) how various stakeholders can affect health literacy"--Publisher's description. 606 $aHealth education$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aPatient education$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aHealth education 615 0$aPatient education 676 $a613.0712 701 $aHewitt$b Maria$01472895 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.) 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Health Literacy. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 712 12$aUnderstanding what works in health literacy across a State: A Workshop$f(2010 :$eLos Angeles, CA). 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781515003321 996 $aImproving health literacy within a state$93748221 997 $aUNINA
