About Health Literacy
The U.S health care system maintains one of the most sophisticated health care delivery systems in the world. Even with all the advances in treatment and technology, a big problem remains: nearly half of U.S. adults don't have the skills to read, understand, and use basic health information, like how to take medicine or understand a consent form. This problem is called low health literacy. It affects about 80 million Americans, and it's a stronger predictor of health outcomes than age, income, education, race, or ethnicity.
It leads to more mistakes, hospital stays, poor health, and even death—costing the U.S. $325 billion each year."
