Health literacy coaching
Health literacy: a solution to improve the experience of your users.
Health literacy enables patients to become partners in their own care. It also enables each person to preserve and improve their own health and that of their loved ones.
Support them by facilitating their pathway through services and their use of health information. Make sure that all your written and oral communications are easy to understand, so that everyone can play a leading role in their own health.
How to consider health literacy
There are many ways to consider health literacy in your organization or practice, for example:
Simplify all your communications so that they are adapted to your users and that they can understand them the first time they read them.
Verify that they understand the information you communicate to them verbally.
Make sure that their entire path through your organization and services is as smooth as possible, for example, by making it easy for them to book an appointment, avoiding unnecessary steps, and finding your offices easily.
