" Health Literacy in the Real World: Awareness, Ideas and Solution"

Speaker: Michael Villaire, MSLM, Chief Operating Officer, Institute for Healthcare Advancement

Recorded Webinar http://nnlm.gov/mcr/bhic/2011/03/24/iha-health-literacy

Poor health literacy is a major issue in the United States. We see examples of how it affects patients, providers, and the healthcare system every day. This session looked at some of the problems created by poor health literacy, discussed programs and ideas to help improve it on both the patient and provider side, and reviewed some solutions. The 2011 IHA Health Literacy Conference was reviewed, as well as a discussion of the National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy.
