This document discusses health literacy and provides information about:
- The high rates of limited health literacy in the US population and challenges it poses
- Ways to identify patients with low health literacy through screening tools and behaviors
- Strategies for creating easy-to-understand written health materials and improving patient communication and education
- Organizations working to advance health literacy and promote policies to address this issue
Black, Hispanic, and AIAN students remain underrepresented among medical school matriculants compared with the US population. This underrepresentation has not changed significantly since the institution of the Liaison Committee of Medical Education diversity accreditation guidelines in 2009. This study’s findings suggest a need for both the development and the evaluation of more robust policies and programs to create a physician workforce that is demographically representative of the US population.
Low health literacy affects us all. Only 12% of Americans are proficient in health literacy skills and only half of patients take medications as directed. Take this short quiz from HealthEd to test your own skills. Includes statistics and links to helpful literacy Web sites.

Health Literacy and Patient EmpowermentHealth literacy is the de.docxisaachwrensch
Health Literacy and Patient Empowerment
Health literacy is the degree to which people possess the ability to comprehend and make use of health information about their bodies, conditions, and prescribed medical interventions. The concept of health literacy is of paramount importance as patients are beginning to play increasingly participatory roles in their own healthcare. One concern is the varying degrees of health literacy that patients possess. Some patients will have a high degree of health literacy while others only a minimal level. This has important implications as to how health information is presented at the individual as well as the public level.
Select a chronic disease. Find three websites that provide patient information about the condition, its effects, and treatment.
Note: Read articles that are peer-reviewed to establish authenticity of their data.
Use the required readings and other scholarly sources to answer the following questions:
What is the chronic disease that you have selected? Explain. Was it difficult to find quality information about it? Why or why not?
What, according to you, is the health literacy level for each of the selected websites? Is it low, medium, or high? Explain your rating system for the three literacy levels. What are the factors that contribute to the literacy level for individuals?
What attributes make these sites highly effective in clearly communicating the information necessary for understanding the condition, its effects, and treatment? Would you change or add anything?
What is patient empowerment? How does it relate to health literacy?
What are the issues involved in the patient or provider relationships when promoting patient empowerment?
What, according to you, could be the three effective strategies to increase health literacy for specific populations?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
