In 2004, the Institute of Medicine released Health Literacy: A
Prescription to End Confusion, a report on the
then-underappreciated challenge of enabling patients to comprehend
their condition and treatment, to make the best decisions for their
care, and to take the right medications at the right time in the
intended dose. That report documented the problems, origins, and
consequences of the fact that tens of millions of U.S. adults are
unable to read complex texts, including many health-related
materials, and it proposed possible solutions to those problems. To
commemorate the anniversary of the release of the 2004 health
literacy report, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Health
Literacy convened a 1-day public workshop to assess the progress
made in the field of health literacy over the past decade, the
current state of the field, and the future of health literacy at
the local, national, and international levels. Health Literacy:
Past, Present, and Future summarizes the presentation and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
