DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ACP Foundation's Fourth Annual National Health Communication Conference, "Practical Solutions to the Problems of Low Health Literacy," first aims to present new and proven practical interventions that counter the effects of low patient health literacy. These interventions will be presented to an audience filled with experts and leaders representing organizations that have the capacity to improve low health literacy. The second aim of this conference is engage conference presenters and participants in operational discussions whereby industry-specifc action steps to improve low health literacy can be developed using the information already presented at the conference as well as the expertise of the conference participants. In the long-term, the Action Steps developed at the conference will be used, as they have been in past years, by the ACP Foundation and by other participating organiztions to improve programming surrounding health literacy. Furthermore, the outcomes from this conference will be published in an executive summary released jointly by the IOM and the ACP Foundation, which will be avialable as a resource to the public via the Foundation's website. By equipping leaders and experts with evidence-based measures to improve low health literacy, this conference has significant potential to impact public health by empowering all patients to become knowledgable and engaged in their health management. The patients who will most feel the effects of efforts to improve low health literacy will be the 90 million American adults who suffer from limited health literacy, which disporportionately affects poor, elderly, and minority populations (IOM: 'A Prescription to End Confusion', 2004). A recent report by the Institute of Medicine declares health literacy to be a "neglected, final pathway to highquality care" ('Healty Literacy', 2004). According to the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), over 90 million American adults, or 47 percent, suffer from limited health literacy. The ACP Foundation's "Practical Solutions to the Problems of Low Health Literacy," Conference will present tested solutions for low health literacy to the experts and leaders that are best-equipped to implement health literacy changes on a national level.

描述（由申请人提供）： ACP基金会的第四届年度全国卫生交流会议，“健康素养低问题的实际解决方案”，首先旨在提出新的和经过验证的实际干预措施，以应对患者健康素养低的影响。这些干预措施将介绍给观众充满了专家和领导人代表有能力改善低健康素养的组织。本次会议的第二个目标是让会议主持人和与会者参与业务讨论，从而可以利用会议上已经提供的信息以及与会者的专业知识制定行业特定的行动步骤，以改善健康素养低的情况。 从长远来看，会议制定的行动步骤将像过去几年一样，由非加太基金会和其他参与组织用来改进围绕卫生知识普及的方案拟订工作。此外，这次会议的成果将在移徙组织和非加太基金会联合发布的执行摘要中发表，公众可通过基金会的网站查阅。通过为领导者和专家提供以证据为基础的措施，以改善健康素养低下的状况，本次会议具有重大的潜力，可以通过使所有患者都能够了解并参与健康管理来影响公共卫生。最能感受到改善低健康素养的努力的影响的患者将是9000万健康素养有限的美国成年人，这无疑影响到穷人，老年人和少数民族人口（IOM：“结束混乱的处方”，2004）。 医学研究所最近的一份报告宣称，健康素养是“被忽视的、通往高质量护理的最后途径”（“健康素养”，2004年）。根据全国成人识字率调查（NALS），超过9000万美国成年人（47%）的健康素养有限。非加太基金会的“健康素养低问题的实际解决方案”会议将向最有能力在国家一级实施健康素养变革的专家和领导人提出经过检验的健康素养低解决方案。
