Health literacy within healthcare organizations is paramount to fostering a more informed and empowered patient population. Healthcare organizations play an important role in bridging the communication gap between providers and patients, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes.
Addressing health literacy enhances patient understanding of medical conditions, treatment options, and preventive measures and promotes shared decision-making, fostering a collaborative and trusting relationship between patients and healthcare providers.
