程序/手术同意书中常用的语言通常超过美国患者的平均阅读水平，许多人在签署前不会阅读文件。采用读者友好的语言和格式使患者更有可能阅读文件，理解它，从而给予知情同意。在文档中添加“教回”提供了一种评估患者理解的方法。使用读者友好的程序/手术同意文件融合了健康素养和知情同意的目标。
THE LANGUAGE COMMONLY used in procedural/surgical consent forms often exceeds the average reading level of US patients, and many do not read the document before signing it. INCORPORATING READER-FRIENDLY language and formatting makes it more likely that patients will read the document, understand it, and therefore give informed consent. Adding "teach back" into the document provides a means of evaluating patient understanding. USING READER-FRIENDLY procedural/surgical consent documents merges the objectives of both health literacy and informed consent.
