健康素养包括做出适当的健康决策和成功驾驭医疗保健系统所需的一系列技能。这些技能包括阅读、写作、计算、沟通，以及越来越多地使用电子技术。全国数据显示，超过三分之一的美国成年人的健康素养有限，这导致健康状况不佳，影响患者安全，以及医疗保健的获得和质量。虽然有一些工具可以筛选有限的健康素养，但它们主要用于研究。对患者进行健康素养筛查并没有显示出改善结果，也不推荐。相反，多个专业组织建议使用普遍的健康素养预防措施，为所有患者提供可理解和可访问的信息，无论他们的识字或教育水平如何。这包括避免医学术语，将信息或指示分解为小的具体步骤，将访问的重点限制在三个关键点或任务上，以及评估理解程度。此外，印刷的信息应该写在或低于五至六年级的阅读水平。直观教具、图表或图片可以增强患者的理解，更具体的数字信息也可以增强患者的理解。
Health literacy includes a set of skills needed to make appropriate health decisions and successfully navigate the health care system. These skills include reading, writing, numeracy, communication, and, increasingly, the use of electronic technology. National data indicate that more than one-third of U.S. adults have limited health literacy, which contributes to poor health outcomes and affects patient safety, and health care access and quality. Although there are a number of tools that screen for limited health literacy, they are primarily used for research. Routinely screening patients for health literacy has not been shown to improve outcomes and is not recommended. Instead, multiple professional organizations recommend using universal health literacy precautions to provide understandable and accessible information to all patients, regardless of their literacy or education levels. This includes avoiding medical jargon, breaking down information or instructions into small concrete steps, limiting the focus of a visit to three key points or tasks, and assessing for comprehension. Additionally, printed information should be written at or below a fifth- to sixth-grade reading level. Visual aids, graphs, or pictures can enhance patient understanding, as can more concrete presentation of numerical information.
