October is Health Literacy Month!
Health literacy is more than understanding health information; itโs the ability for patients and caregivers to find, understand, and use information to make informed health decisions and to incorporate knowledge in managing their health (Healthy People 2030). Health Quality Partners believes health literacy is foundational to person-centered care. Through our Advanced Preventive Careยฎ and integrated Advanced Preventive Care (iAPCโข) programs, our nurses empower patients and caregivers to build the knowledge, confidence, and skills to actively participate in making decisions and managing their health. We also believe in a standard of universal health literacy (AHRQ): communicating in ways that everyone can understand and use health information. Research has shown that, regardless of age or educational level, anyone can have difficulty understanding and using health information, especially when they are sick, stressed, or overwhelmed.
