In its landmark report, Health Literacy: A Prescription to End
Confusion, the Institute of Medicine noted that there are 90
million adults in the United States with limited health literacy
who cannot fully benefit from what the health and health care
systems have to offer. Since the release of that report, health
literacy has become a vibrant research field that has developed and
disseminated a wide range of tools and practices that have helped
organizations, ranging in size from large health care systems to
individual health care providers and pharmacists, to engage in
health literate discussions with and provide health literate
materials for patients and family members. Improving the health
literacy of organizations can be an important component of
addressing the social determinants of health and achieving the
triple aim of improving the patient experience, improving the
health of populations, and reducing the cost of care. However, the
focus on organizations does not address the larger issue of how to
improve health literacy across the U.S. population. To get a better
understanding of the state of community-based health literacy
interventions, the Roundtable on Health Literacy hosted a workshop
on July 19, 2017 on community-based health literacy interventions.
It featured examples of community-based health literacy programs,
discussions on how to evaluate such programs, and the actions the
field can take to embrace this larger view of health literacy. This
publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the
workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2
