There are three key challenges that impact ensuring health information remains strategic in Australia's healthcare system: 1) Providing unclear, unfocused, and unusable health information to consumers. 2) Ineffective interpersonal communication between healthcare providers and consumers. 3) Poor integration of health literacy into education. These challenges reduce the quality of care and consumers' understanding of their health conditions. Strategies like involving consumers in developing materials, personalizing information, and improving providers' communication skills could help address these issues.
Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

This document discusses how consumers use the internet and social media for health information. About half of US adults own smartphones and 17% use them to look up health information. Social media allows for direct communication between patients and providers and the sharing of health experiences. However, privacy and unreliable information are concerns. The role of nurses includes disseminating effective health information online and enhancing provider-patient communication through technology.

Define the Topic and Question
This topic question is defined by interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults. By introducing these interventions earlier, it will be possible to prevent people from being affected by chronic diseases.
Overview/Significance of the Problem
The acceptance and implementation of a healthy diet has been recognized as the foundation for managing, preventing, and fighting chronic diseases. However, the inability to be dynamic and diversify one’s life diet can lead to significant problems. It is also vital that people know that people acknowledge the importance of obeying dietary counsel since one’s adherence level can determine the efficiency of dietary treatment. The ability of one to diversify his diet reduces the risk of developing food allergy and intolerance (Ball et al., 2016). Additionally, the lack of education has been mostly associated with a poor quality and less diversified diet in people with diabetes (Tiew, Chan, Lye & Loke, 2014). It is, therefore, evident how the ability to diversify and be dynamic on one’s diet improves the nutritional status.

NURS 438 Trends And Issues In Nursing And Health Systems.docxstirlingvwriters
This document discusses trends and issues related to medical errors in nursing and health systems. It outlines several common causes of medical errors, including communication problems, inadequate information flow, and technical errors. Communication issues between nurses and patients can lead to medication errors, while inadequate discharge instructions and a lack of information for patients post-hospitalization can also result in errors. Technical failures of medical equipment during procedures have caused patient injuries and deaths. Reducing these types of errors will help improve safety and outcomes in healthcare.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
When the health community makes reference to patients having access to care, the reference is
generally limited. The concept of access is too often described as individuals getting to and from
health services and having the ability to pay for the services either by virtue of a third party or
out-of-pocket. We believe access to be much more than this and suggest that a redefinition of
access is long overdue. True access means being able to get to and from health services, having the
ability to pay for the services needed, and getting your needs met once you enter the health system.
This text introduces a framework for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of selective healthcare
systems, and determining if the system is providing true access to health care. The framework is
called “The Eight Factor Model.”
The comparison of health systems is made by utilizing The Eight Factor Model, which was
developed by the authors, and has “true access” as the driving value. As illustrated in Figure 3-1 ,
the model has true access at its core, and eight surrounding factors that are important for health
systems to demonstrate in order to provide that true access. A solid directional arrow from the
factor to the core depicts a system that has demonstrated evidence to support that it is providing
true access. A broken directional arrow from the core to the factor suggests the system is not
providing true access, and much work must be done to achieve it. Table 3-1 (a format for assessing
true access) provides a template for learners to formulate their own opinions about the extent to
which countries discussed in this text provide true access. Table 7 in Chapter 16 , The Eight Factor
Model for True Access, summarizes author observations regarding the extent to which each of the
11 countries discussed in the “Health Care in Industrialized (Developed) Countries and “Health
Care in Developing Countries” sections of this text have addressed true access. This will hopefully
enable the learner to briefly review it against the Eight Factor Model illustrated in Figure 3-1 . Table
7, The Eight Factor Model for True Access, which appears at the end of Chapter 16 (Comparative
health perspectives) should be fully reviewed as the l ...
Responsibility of Health Promotion in Nursing Research Paper.docxwrite22
1) Health promotion aims to empower communities and individuals to increase control over their health by developing personal skills and changing social and environmental conditions.
2) Nurses play an important role in health promotion through education, helping patients understand their conditions, and communicating the benefits of preventive health measures.
3) There are three levels of health promotion - primary prevention prevents disease through measures like immunization; secondary prevention detects disease early through screening to limit effects; and tertiary prevention helps manage existing conditions and promote adjustment.
The document summarizes key topics covered in a Professional Capstone and Practicum course, as reflected in a student's journal. The journal addresses new practice approaches learned, including evidence-based practice and intraprofessional collaboration. It also discusses healthcare delivery systems, ethics, population health, the role of technology, health policy, leadership models, and health disparities. The student reflects on strengthening their cultural competence and how the course helped them meet competencies.

This document discusses behavioral risk factors for lung cancer. The two main behavioral risk factors discussed are heavy alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. Predisposing factors that contribute to these behaviors include gender and family history. Reinforcing factors include internal and external rewards, while enabling factors make the behaviors easier through conditions like wealth and living situation. The document also discusses advantages and disadvantages of different settings for addressing lung cancer risks, such as quitting smoking/drinking or improving nutrition.
This document describes a proposed randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a health literacy and community health worker intervention for type 2 diabetes patients in community health centers. The study aims to address the gap in knowledge about how such interventions impact clinical outcomes like adherence, self-management, and communication. If shown to be effective, the intervention could help the millions of Americans with limited health literacy better manage their chronic conditions. The trial would involve community health centers in low-income neighborhoods of Boston serving predominantly minority populations disproportionately impacted by diabetes complications. Results could demonstrate cost-effective ways to incorporate health literacy and community health workers into standard care for medically underserved groups.
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent .docxvickeryr87
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent health care, broadly defined as services that are respectful of and responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients, is increasingly viewed as essential in reducing racial and ethnic disparities, improving health care quality, and controlling costs. The U.S. government considers cultural competence as a method of increasing access to quality care for all patients. The aim should be to develop systems more responsive to diverse populations. Managed care organizations view cultural competence as driving both quality and business. By embedding cultural competence strategies into quality improvement initiatives to make care more efficient and effective, clinical outcomes are improved while costs are controlled. Those in academic settings agree that cultural competency education is crucial for preparing future health care workers, although appropriate education on the topic is provided in only half of the medical schools in the United States (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Park, 2005). According to the Office of Minority Health, cultural competence refers to the ability of health care providers and organizations to understand and respond effectively to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients (Office of Minority Health, 2001). Cultural competence encompasses a wide range of activities and considerations. It includes providing respectful care that is consistent with cultural health beliefs of the clients and family members. Competent interpreter services and programs to promote staff diversity are other ways in which health care organizations can increase cultural competence (Clancy & Stryer, 2001). Because communication is a cornerstone of patient safety and quality care, every patient has the right to receive information in a manner he or she understands. Effective communication allows patients to participate more fully in their care. Communicating effectively with patients is also critical to the informed consent process and helps practitioners and hospitals give the best possible care. For communication to be effective, the information provided must be complete, accurate, timely, unambiguous, and understood by the patient. Many patients of varying circumstances require alternative communication methods: patients who speak and/or read languages other than English; patients who have limited literacy in any language; patients who have visual or hearing impairments; patients on ventilators; patients with cognitive impairments; and children. The hospital has many options available to assist in communication with these individuals, such as interpreters, translated written materials, pen and paper, communication boards, and speech therapy. It is up to the hospital to determine which method is the best for each patient. Various laws, regulations, and guidelines are relevant to the use of interpreters. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Executive Order .

Quality
Nearly fifteen years ago, the Institute of Medicine published the “To Err Is Human” report, which exposed the substantial impact of medical errors in the US healthcare system and called for a dramatic system change, including an improved understanding of those errors (McCarthy, Tuiskula, Driscoll, & Davis, 2017). Medical errors are considered to be failure to achieve the original goal or plan of action, and these errors may range from a patient falls to a mistake in the operating room. Not only do medical errors cause harm to the patient and jeopardize the patient’s trust, but they also cause a financial strain for the health system (“To Err is Human,” 1999). One of the contributing factors to medical errors is the lack of effective communication between doctors who are treating the same patient. This results in healthcare providers overprescribing medications for patients as well as increases the possibility of a patient having unnecessary tests or procedures performed. The report’s four-tiered approach includes:
· Focusing on creating a stronger foundation of education on patient safety
· Mandating a nationwide reporting system to encourage timely reporting of errors
· Increasing the standards of performance for healthcare providers
· Taking advantage of the security that safety systems offer (“To Err is Human,” 1999)
Creating a strong educational foundation for patient safety is most important. Healthcare personnel are much more likely to actively participate in reporting systems, encourage one another to perform at a higher level, and take advantage of safety systems when they are well educated on patient safety and the implications of medical errors. The reporting system seems to provide the least amount of impact on patient safety as they can result in losing patient trust in certain healthcare systems. The healthcare system as a whole has made progress in establishing a safe environment for patients when they are in need of care.
Challenges for Patient Safety and Steps for Improvement
Despite continuing evidence of problems in patient safety and gaps between the care that patients receive and the evidence about what they should receive, efforts to improve quality in healthcare show mostly inconsistent and patchy results.

This document discusses obesity rates in Latino communities in Miami-Dade County. It notes that Latino communities have higher rates of obesity due to factors like food insecurity, limited access to safe places for physical activity, and targeted marketing of unhealthy foods. To address this issue, the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade holds community health fairs that provide education on healthy eating and exercise to Latino parents, with the goal of reducing childhood obesity rates. These fairs help underserved communities access preventative healthcare services and screenings. They also spark conversations that can encourage lifestyle changes to address high obesity rates.
A STUDY ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH LITERACY IN ADULT POPULATION WITH REF...IAEME Publication
The article a study on physical activity and health literacy in adult population with reference to Kanyakumari district. The present article shows the profile and awareness about physical activity and health literacy in Adults in the Study area. The health conditions prevailing in India is different. Usually the people care their children health only during childhood and after that when they become adults, they totally neglect about health aspects of their children. When children reach adolescence, they have to choose their career as professionals or non-professionals. Due to various environmental impacts and in the process of life circumstances, they forget about the concept and development of fitness or health-related activities. The major difference between physical activity and health-related physical fitness components are body composition, immunity, briskness, strength and ability. The present study is descriptive in nature using both primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected through interview schedule from the respondents in the study area. Secondary data were collected from various journals, magazines, newspaper related website and records of etc. the collected primary data were analyzed by using appropriate Statistical tools like Simple percentage, ANOVA, Chi-square test.

This presentation focuses on developing a safety improvement plan using the Teach-back Method to prevent medication errors through enhanced patient-provider communication and education. Poor communication is a leading cause of errors. The plan aims to evaluate patient comprehension by having them explain medication instructions in their own words. Audience members like nurses and doctors will learn the Teach-back Method to improve engagement with patients and reduce errors. Their successful adoption of this role is critical to the plan's success.

Genetic diversity is important for long-term population viability and supports biodiversity. A lack of genetic diversity threatens survival, as seen in populations like the Florida panther which faces health issues due to inbreeding. Population management considers conservation values and aims to balance costs and benefits through efforts like reintroducing invasive species. Conservation methods include ex situ options like zoos and botanical gardens which support genetics but can also reduce diversity, as well as in situ protections under the Endangered Species Act which helps preservation but faces challenges in enforcement.

Topic five: Interventions to improve additional nutritional status: What type of interventions improve adherence to recommendations on nutritional intake?
Define the Topic and Question
This topic question is defined by interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults. By introducing these interventions earlier, it will be possible to prevent people from being affected by chronic diseases.
Overview/Significance of the Problem
The acceptance and implementation of a healthy diet has been recognized as the foundation for managing, preventing, and fighting chronic diseases. However, the inability to be dynamic and diversify one’s life diet can lead to significant problems. It is also vital that people know that people acknowledge the importance of obeying dietary counsel since one’s adherence level can determine the efficiency of dietary treatment. The ability of one to diversify his diet reduces the risk of developing food allergy and intolerance (Ball et al., 2016). Additionally, the lack of education has been mostly associated with a poor quality and less diversified diet in people with diabetes (Tiew, Chan, Lye & Loke, 2014). It is, therefore, evident how the ability to diversify and be dynamic on one’s diet improves the nutritional status.

NURS 438 Trends And Issues In Nursing And Health Systems.docxstirlingvwriters
This document discusses trends and issues related to medical errors in nursing and health systems. It outlines several common causes of medical errors, including communication problems, inadequate information flow, and technical errors. Communication issues between nurses and patients can lead to medication errors, while inadequate discharge instructions and a lack of information for patients post-hospitalization can also result in errors. Technical failures of medical equipment during procedures have caused patient injuries and deaths. Reducing these types of errors will help improve safety and outcomes in healthcare.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
When the health community makes reference to patients having access to care, the reference is
generally limited. The concept of access is too often described as individuals getting to and from
health services and having the ability to pay for the services either by virtue of a third party or
out-of-pocket. We believe access to be much more than this and suggest that a redefinition of
access is long overdue. True access means being able to get to and from health services, having the
ability to pay for the services needed, and getting your needs met once you enter the health system.
This text introduces a framework for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of selective healthcare
systems, and determining if the system is providing true access to health care. The framework is
called “The Eight Factor Model.”
The comparison of health systems is made by utilizing The Eight Factor Model, which was
developed by the authors, and has “true access” as the driving value. As illustrated in Figure 3-1 ,
the model has true access at its core, and eight surrounding factors that are important for health
systems to demonstrate in order to provide that true access. A solid directional arrow from the
factor to the core depicts a system that has demonstrated evidence to support that it is providing
true access. A broken directional arrow from the core to the factor suggests the system is not
providing true access, and much work must be done to achieve it. Table 3-1 (a format for assessing
true access) provides a template for learners to formulate their own opinions about the extent to
which countries discussed in this text provide true access. Table 7 in Chapter 16 , The Eight Factor
Model for True Access, summarizes author observations regarding the extent to which each of the
11 countries discussed in the “Health Care in Industrialized (Developed) Countries and “Health
Care in Developing Countries” sections of this text have addressed true access. This will hopefully
enable the learner to briefly review it against the Eight Factor Model illustrated in Figure 3-1 . Table
7, The Eight Factor Model for True Access, which appears at the end of Chapter 16 (Comparative
health perspectives) should be fully reviewed as the l ...
Responsibility of Health Promotion in Nursing Research Paper.docxwrite22
1) Health promotion aims to empower communities and individuals to increase control over their health by developing personal skills and changing social and environmental conditions.
2) Nurses play an important role in health promotion through education, helping patients understand their conditions, and communicating the benefits of preventive health measures.
3) There are three levels of health promotion - primary prevention prevents disease through measures like immunization; secondary prevention detects disease early through screening to limit effects; and tertiary prevention helps manage existing conditions and promote adjustment.

Reinforcing factors include internal and external rewards, while enabling factors make the behaviors easier through conditions like wealth and living situation. The document also discusses advantages and disadvantages of different settings for addressing lung cancer risks, such as quitting smoking/drinking or improving nutrition.
This document describes a proposed randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a health literacy and community health worker intervention for type 2 diabetes patients in community health centers. The study aims to address the gap in knowledge about how such interventions impact clinical outcomes like adherence, self-management, and communication. If shown to be effective, the intervention could help the millions of Americans with limited health literacy better manage their chronic conditions. The trial would involve community health centers in low-income neighborhoods of Boston serving predominantly minority populations disproportionately impacted by diabetes complications. Results could demonstrate cost-effective ways to incorporate health literacy and community health workers into standard care for medically underserved groups.
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent .docxvickeryr87
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent health care, broadly defined as services that are respectful of and responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients, is increasingly viewed as essential in reducing racial and ethnic disparities, improving health care quality, and controlling costs. The U.S. government considers cultural competence as a method of increasing access to quality care for all patients. The aim should be to develop systems more responsive to diverse populations. Managed care organizations view cultural competence as driving both quality and business. By embedding cultural competence strategies into quality improvement initiatives to make care more efficient and effective, clinical outcomes are improved while costs are controlled. Those in academic settings agree that cultural competency education is crucial for preparing future health care workers, although appropriate education on the topic is provided in only half of the medical schools in the United States (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Park, 2005). According to the Office of Minority Health, cultural competence refers to the ability of health care providers and organizations to understand and respond effectively to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients (Office of Minority Health, 2001). Cultural competence encompasses a wide range of activities and considerations. It includes providing respectful care that is consistent with cultural health beliefs of the clients and family members. Competent interpreter services and programs to promote staff diversity are other ways in which health care organizations can increase cultural competence (Clancy & Stryer, 2001). Because communication is a cornerstone of patient safety and quality care, every patient has the right to receive information in a manner he or she understands. Effective communication allows patients to participate more fully in their care. Communicating effectively with patients is also critical to the informed consent process and helps practitioners and hospitals give the best possible care. For communication to be effective, the information provided must be complete, accurate, timely, unambiguous, and understood by the patient. Many patients of varying circumstances require alternative communication methods: patients who speak and/or read languages other than English; patients who have limited literacy in any language; patients who have visual or hearing impairments; patients on ventilators; patients with cognitive impairments; and children. The hospital has many options available to assist in communication with these individuals, such as interpreters, translated written materials, pen and paper, communication boards, and speech therapy. It is up to the hospital to determine which method is the best for each patient. Various laws, regulations, and guidelines are relevant to the use of interpreters. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Executive Order .

Nearly fifteen years ago, the Institute of Medicine published the “To Err Is Human” report, which exposed the substantial impact of medical errors in the US healthcare system and called for a dramatic system change, including an improved understanding of those errors (McCarthy, Tuiskula, Driscoll, & Davis, 2017). Medical errors are considered to be failure to achieve the original goal or plan of action, and these errors may range from a patient falls to a mistake in the operating room. Not only do medical errors cause harm to the patient and jeopardize the patient’s trust, but they also cause a financial strain for the health system (“To Err is Human,” 1999). One of the contributing factors to medical errors is the lack of effective communication between doctors who are treating the same patient. This results in healthcare providers overprescribing medications for patients as well as increases the possibility of a patient having unnecessary tests or procedures performed. The report’s four-tiered approach includes:
· Focusing on creating a stronger foundation of education on patient safety
· Mandating a nationwide reporting system to encourage timely reporting of errors
· Increasing the standards of performance for healthcare providers
· Taking advantage of the security that safety systems offer (“To Err is Human,” 1999)
Creating a strong educational foundation for patient safety is most important. Healthcare personnel are much more likely to actively participate in reporting systems, encourage one another to perform at a higher level, and take advantage of safety systems when they are well educated on patient safety and the implications of medical errors. The reporting system seems to provide the least amount of impact on patient safety as they can result in losing patient trust in certain healthcare systems. The healthcare system as a whole has made progress in establishing a safe environment for patients when they are in need of care.
Challenges for Patient Safety and Steps for Improvement
Despite continuing evidence of problems in patient safety and gaps between the care that patients receive and the evidence about what they should receive, efforts to improve quality in healthcare show mostly inconsistent and patchy results.

with health or any form of health care. It forms the basis of campaigns that promote health
and aims at informing the public about issues in health and modifying the consumers’
behaviors that are related to health (Council of Australian Governments, 2011). very
sassists consumers of health care to search and receive services, managing their health
conditions and making everyday decisions to enhance their health. There are three major
challenges that affect the provision of health information in Australia negatively. The first
challenge is the provision of unclear, unfocused and unusable health information to the
consumers. The second challenge is the ineffective interpersonal communication. The last
challenge is poor integration of health literacy into education. These challenges ensure that
health information does not remain a strategic resource in the Australian Health care
system.Provision of Unclear, Unfocused and Unusable Health Information to the
ConsumersProvision of unclear, unfocused and unusable health information to the
consumers in affects the Australian health care system negatively (Nutbeam et al., 2000).
Health information is very important in promoting the well-being of the health care
consumers. They need this information to ensure that they search and receive quality health
services from health care workers (Australian Government, 2011). It is the same
information that they help consumers have an effective interaction with the health care
givers that ensure their conditions are well understood, and they receive the right
treatment. In Australia, health care providers do not give health information that is clear,
focused and usable by the consumers. These problems interfere with the provision of
quality health care in this country. These problems are some of the reasons why I decided to
aIDress this challenge. I can make the problem known, and I can also give actions for
aIDressing the challenge by looking at the issue critically. These actions can be of great help
to the policy makers who can correct the way consumers receive health information from
the health care practitioners. If consumers get clear, focused and usable health information,
the quality of health care offered in Australia will improve.There are problems with the
2. current health information in Australia. There exist some gaps between the health
information that the consumers need and what is accessible or provided to them. A research
done by health care providers and consumers investigating the quality of consumers health
information found that the quality of most information used by the consumers was poor
(Council of Australian Governments, 2011). It was poor in that it did not meet the
immediate need of the consumers, and it did not promote quality decision-making. Another
study indicated that most current health information is complicated and that many
consumers cannot understand it hence it not usable. (Nutbeam et al., 2000).From the
results of these studies, it is clear that it is a big challenge for consumers to access,
understand and apply the health information to their advantage. This problem of poor
understanding of health information is very prominent among those with low health
literacy. The health information complexity presents an important barrier especially to the
low literacy people and can hamper participation in their care. The complexity can also
hinder them from taking effective measures in issues concerning their health.There are
several strategies that can be used to make the health information clear, focused and usable
by the consumers (eHealth, 2013). esentation of this information (Australian Government,
2011). A good number of researcheshave been carried out to examine the interventions that
can be used in mitigating the consequences of low health literacy. These that the use few
clear strategies improved the understanding of health information. These clear strategies
include theInvolvement of the consumers in developing health information materials can
assist in aIDressing the health literacy by making sure that the information is clear, focused,
readable and usable (Department of Health and Ageing, 2012). Other effective strategies
include the process of personalizing the health information that is written and combining
both written and verbal information in reinforcing important health messages. One review
about this challenge identified that using resources with alternative formats such as
audiotapes, internet, virtual groups and health communities improved knowledge in
health and led to more user satisfaction (eHealth, 2013). The review also found beneficial
effects for consumers associated with self-efficacy, decision involvements and expressing
confidence during consultations with the health practitioners. Benefits were also noted on
health behavior especially in those consumers that used educational interventions that
were web-based. Many studies and reviews done aIDressing this issue prove that the
provision of clear, focused and usable health information to the consumers improve their
understanding of their conditions and contribute to their well-being.Ineffective
Interpersonal CommunicationInterpersonal communication is described as the
communication that occurs between two or more people (Best et al., 2012). Scholars believe
that effective communication should be based on empathy, understanding,the United States
identified use of ineffective personal communication as the largest obstacle in the provision
of quality health information (PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2010). In another study that was
carried out in China, use of ineffective personal communication was identified as the main
cause of poor provision of health information in that country (Victorian University, 2009).
So, the role of interpersonal communication cannot be ignored if health systems want to
provide quality health information to the public. I have been the victim of this ineffective
communication where the health care provider gave me instructions that I could not follow
3. due the poor communication that he used. Many people especially in Australia have suffered
in the hand of these health practitioners who do not understand that effective
communication is important while giving health information to a consumer. This problem in
personal communication stimulated me to search for effective actions to solve this problem
in Australia. I want health information to remain a strategic resource in the Australian
Health care system.Communication is a significant problem in the health care system. In
Australia, researchers have identified communication as the frequent cause of the
underlying complaints in health care and a major concern for consumers of health care
(Keleher & Hagger, 2007). The health information in Australia is available widely from
many sources, but consumers prefer to rely on health practitioners for information
concerning their health and health care. They also use other sources to supplement the
information such as media, friends, family and website. Consumers confirm that they seek
health information from health practitioners than any other source(Kickbusch, 2001;
Medicare Australia, 2012). However, many of the consumers have a big challenge of
comprehending what their health practitioners advise them to do (Best et al., 2012). The
problem of consumers not understanding most of what they are advised by their health
practitioners indicate that health care workers must learn to use effective interpersonal
communication.A study done in Australia indicated that most of the consumers are not able
to remember approximately 45% to 85% of the health information immediately given to
them by their health practitioners (Kickbusch, 2001).The failure to remember is a problem
of ineffective communication. Many experts believe that it is a mismatch between what the
health practitioner thinks they are delivering the message and what the comprehending and
recalling of the consumer. Health care workers comprehending of health skills and literacy
in interpersonal communication can help in contributing to the improvements in
remembering and satisfaction of the consumer (Keleher & Hagger, 2007). The consumer
understanding can lead to greater participation, confidence and more improved consumer’s
decision-making.There are several strategies that can be used in improving interpersonal
communication between the health practitioners and the consumers (Pleasant,
2012).Strategies for improving the interpersonal communication are mostly based on
approaches and principles that are patient-centered. Research has shown that fostering an
approach that is patient-centered to interpersonal communication lead to better health
care, enhanced communication and improved health outcomes. Patient-centered approach
is also related to increased efficiency of care. Strategies that health practitioners can use
include attentive listening and information prompting, and confirming comprehending of
the provided information (Jordan, Buchbinder & Osborne, 2010).These strategies also
include the provision of options that are relevant to the consumer, use of simple body
langhat the consumer intend to take (Institute of Medicine, 2001). These strategies can have
a significant change in the improvement of the quality of health care given to the consumers
and also help health information to remain a strategic resource in the Australian health care
system.Strategies that are used for improving interpersonal communication are mostly
focused on the particular tools or interventions of communication which foster
participation, partnership, debate and discussion by the consumers. There are different
types of these interventions, and they include using plain language in communicating health
4. information, choices and instructions (The Joint Commission, 2007). They also include using
decision aids which have been proved to result in improving knowledge, comprehending of
preventions, screening and relevant options in treatment. Processes of shared decision-
making have been shown as a significant foundation for care that is patient-centered and as
a means that increases participation of consumers in decision-making (Plain Language,
2013). People who use shared decision-making have favorable outcomes of health. Recall
and educative strategies have also been shown to improve effective interpersonal
communication. These strategies include requesting consumers to remember information
that they have received from a health practitioner to check their comprehension. These
types of approaches can involve the use of the ‘teach goal technique’, ‘teach-back’ and ‘ask-
tell-ask’ methods and many others in this category (Nilsen et al., 2006). A Study done in
Australia indicated that a good number of these strategies that are educative are mostly
effective with clients suffering from certain health conditions (Anderson, Allan & Finucane,
2001).They are also effective in clients who demonstrate improved management care,
understanding and recalling of health information given to them by the health care
providers. The Australian health care system should come up with effective strategies to
ensure that effective interpersonal communication is understood by all health care
providers. The overall benefit would be making sure that health information remains a
strategic resource in Australian health care system. Poor Integration of
Health Literacy into Education Research has proved that education plays
an integral role in promoting and maintaining quality health and the connections between
health outcomes and education have been known for a long time (RuID, 2013). Studies have
also indicated that education, general literacy, and health literacy are all interrelated in
many ways. The informal and formal education of an individual plays a significant role in
shaping their general literacy (Groene & RuID, 2011). It also helps in contributing to their
skills and knowledge in comprehending health systems and information and shaping their
capacity for decision-making taking appropriate actions their well being and health care.
Poor integration of health literacy into education contributes negatively to the provision of
quality health information. In Australia, there is a great need for coming up with effective
strategies that can be used to integrate health literacy into education (DeWalt et al., 2004).
This challengeof poor health literacy integration into education stimulated me to find the
relevant actions that can be used to aIDress the problem. I have hope that after aIDressing
this problem the Australian Health system policy makers would take this concern seriously
and act promptly to aIDress this problem once and for all.Many individuals ask themselves
whether there is the need of providing education and training to aIDress health literacy
problem. What they don’t know is that provision of education, and the necessary training is
crucial to any process of change (Groene & RuID, 2011). through providing education and
training to various groups of people. of adult education course to assist in teaching
consumers on the best method to use in identifying credible information on the internet.
Another group is the undergraduate students to help them in increasing their
understanding of effective communication strategies. A good example is the provision of
training to health practitioners on various techniques of communication like teach goal that
can be used for checking whether they have given useful information to consumers (RuID,
5. 2013). The last group is health practitioners to help them in comprehending health literacy
and the significant role it plays in good health acre outcomes.Offering education and
training to consumers about health literacy and health is focused to build the capacity and
ability of the person in appraising, acting, applying and understanding the health
information. The knowledge and skills required in for reliable decision-making about health
care and well-being are affected from the time of early childhood (Kohn, Corrigan &
Donaldson, 2000). The early childhood is the period when small children are first taught
sun protection, healthy eating habits, importance of hygiene and various health preventive
measures. AIDitionally, during school period, children are equipped with numeracy skills
and general literacy and thicated information (DeWalt et al., 2004). Education concerning
the well being and general health care for individual clients can range from education
involving managing and treating certain health conditions to provision of information
concerning general measures for living a healthy life (RuID, 2013).Consumer education is
very vital in the provision of quality health provision. The Australian health care system
should look for effective ways of implementing these strategies.Health care providers need
the education and training so that they can understand the effective ways of giving health
information to the consumers (Institute of Medicine, 2004). The number of people who are
involved in the provision of health care services and the producing and utilization of health
information and this increases the likelihood of communication error occurring. It is very
significant that health practitioners understand the health literacy issue and how the
provision of inadequate health literacy can affect negatively the outcomes of health (Baker,
2006). They should also understand how their roles can affect how easy or difficult the
clients use and comprehend the health care. They should also strive to search for effective
strategies they utilize for ensuring that they provide services, advice and information that
easy to act on, comprehend and utilize. Studies have shown that there is increasing
awareness among health care providers that poor health literacy leads to poor health
outcomes. The process of training health practitioners in health literacy has led to improved
communication and counseling skills and more utilization of evidence-based strategies by
health practitioners in aIDressing health literacy. Interventions involved in training of
health practitioners about health literacy were linked to increased screening of cancer rates
and increased satisfaction ratings from the consumers. Offering education and training of
health workers has a positive impact in the quality of health care and health information
offered to the consumers.ConclusionResearch has shown that the provision of unclear,
unfocused and unusable health information to the consumers affects the Australian health
care system negatively. Health consumers require clear, focused and useable health
information to comprehend their diagnosis, prognosis and the likely health outcomes from
the various tests and treatment they receive from the health practitioners. They also need
the necessary knowledge to enable them in the management of their health conditions and
prevent further disease progression. Ineffective personal communication has been shown to
contribute to the provision of poor health information. Use of patient-centered approach in
interpersonal communication contributes to creation of stronger relationships and quality
of care offered to the consumers. Effective communication strategies must be adapted by
the Australian health care system to enhance the well being and general health of the
6. consumers. Poor integration of health literacy into education has affected the provision of
quality health information negatively. Research has shown that education play an integral
role in the promotion and maintaining of quality health among the consumers. Both the
health care providers and the consumers must receive relevant education and training to
understand and use health education. These three challenges must be aIDressed to ensure
that health information remains a strategic resource in the Australian health care
system.ReferencesAnderson, K., Allan, D, & Finucane, P. (2001). A 30-month study of patient
