Health Illiteracy Can Kill You
#hcmd09

Health Literacy
The ability to read,
understand, and utilize
basic health-related
information
... like prescription
bottle labels and
appointment slips
#hcmd09

Implications, Interactions and
Adherence add new levels of
complexity
#hcmd09

Your Ignorance
is Their Power
#hcmd09

Learn or Die
Literate 18%
Illiterate
40%
25% of the 3500 people monitored had inadequate health literacy
The Illiterate group had a greater chance of dying over the next 6 years

Heard in an industry meeting
“The Patient Centered
Medical Home ...
...is centered around
the Physician”
Anonymous -
... for obvious reasons
#hcmd09

Yes, Health Care is
extremely complicated
#hcmd09

... because the
patient is usually
excluded
#hcmd09

Something has to
change

Health 2.0 is participatory healthcare.
Enabled by information, software, and
community that we collect or create, we the
patients can be effective partners in our own
health care, and we the people can
participate in reshaping the health system
itself.

Health Care is important
to us all

#hcmd09

Privacy is a personal decision
HIpAA
and a personal trade-off
#hcmd09

Privacy takes a back seat to
quality of life
#hcmd09

It is my choice
... and I need knowledge
to take responsibility
#hcmd09

We choose
what to believe
... and who
We share with

Don’t talk at me
Have a conversation with me

To stay relevant
health care must
embrace openness

To change health care we have to
put ourselves at the center
