The field of health literacy has evolved from one focused on
individuals to one that recognizes that health literacy is
multidimensional. While communicating in a health literate manner
is important for everyone, it is particularly important when
communicating with those with limited health literacy who also
experience more serious medication errors, higher rates of
hospitalization and use of the emergency room, poor health
outcomes, and increased mortality. Over the past decade, research
has shown that health literacy interventions can significantly
impact various areas including health care costs, outcomes, and
health disparities. To understand the extent to which health
literacy has been shown to be effective at contributing to the
Quadruple Aim of improving the health of communities, providing
better care, providing affordable care, and improving the
experience of the health care team, the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public workshop on
building the case for health literacy. This publication summarizes
the presentations and discussions from the workshop, and highlights
important lessons about the role of health literacy in meeting the
Quadruple Aim, case studies of organizations that have adopted
health literacy, and discussions among the different stakeholders
involved in making the case for health literacy. Table of Contents
