Building and Improving Health Literacy in the ‘New Normal’ of Health Care: Frameworks and Actions (European Health Management in Transition) (PDF Book)
Edición en Inglés de Federico Lega (Autor), Pia Kreutzer (Autor)
Studies have demonstrated that low health literacy (HL) is associated with poor mental and physical health, increased health disparities and less effective healthcare systems. The results from HL in Europe indicate that approximately half of the respondents in eight member states of the European Union had limited HL. Reasons for this include demographic changes, social issues, health-related concerns and economic factors that need to be considered in order to understand why policy makers and healthcare managers should concern themselves with health literacy.
Building and improving Health Literacy in the ‘New Normal’ of Health Care investigates how Health Literacy is measured and assessed, both formally in scientific studies as well as informally by medical professionals. The latter affects the way medical staff interacts with patients, which is crucial to the patient’s understanding. The data regarding health literacy examples are explained, the focus is on obtaining information about health and how it is communicated, this leads to a discussion about how new innovations can address these potential issues.
Building and enhancing Health Literacy in the ‘New Normal’ of Health Care identifies effective paths of action that could be taken to improve the knowledge of patients regarding new technology that would reduce the disparity between the health of people. It’s crucial to both policy makers and healthcare managers.
