Low health literacy creates difficulties in communicating with clinicians, poses barriers in managing chronic illness, lessens the likelihood of receiving preventive care, heightens the possibility of experiencing serious medication errors, increased risk of hospitalization, and results in poorer quality of life. It is important for health care organizations to develop strategies that can improve their health literacy, yet organizations often find it difficult to determine exactly what it means to be health literate. How Can Health Care Organizations Become More Health Literate?: Workshop defines a health literate health care organization as "an organization that makes it easier for people to navigate, understand, and use information and services to take care of their health." In November 2011, the IOM Roundtable on Health Literacy held a workshop to discuss the growing recognition that health literacy depends not only on individual skills and abilities but also on the demands and complexities of the health care system. How Can Health Care Organizations Become More Health Literate?: Workshop summarizes the workshop."--Publisher's description. 606 $aHealth education$zUnited States 606 $aHealth services administration$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aHealth Literacy 606 $aHealth Facility Administration 606 $aPatient Education as Topic 607 $aUnited States 608 $aCongress. 615 0$aHealth education 615 0$aHealth services administration 615 12$aHealth Literacy. 615 22$aHealth Facility Administration. 615 22$aPatient Education as Topic. 676 $a613 701 $aHernandez$b Lyla M$01094183 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Health Literacy. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785511203321 996 $aHow can health care organizations become more health literate$93737441 997 $aUNINA
