Summary: Empower Your Patients With Help From This Book
Review: We often think our patients understand us fully when we provide them with information regarding their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. In fact studies show that over half of the adult population has trouble processing and acting on this information correctly. Poor compliance often leads to poor outcomes. We need to ensure that our patients get "the whole picture".
Health Literacy from A to Z is a wonderful resource for all health professionals. It touches on all aspects of patient care and provides simple, easily implemented strategies to enhance understanding for your patients.
This is a tool I will use over and over again. I keep it easily accessible so I can refer to it as needed. I suggest you do the same.
