Fourth Annual National Health Communication Conference

ACP基金会第四届全国卫生交流年会将于2005年11月30日举行。会议题为“低健康素养问题的实际解决方案”，旨在提出新的和经过验证的实际干预措施，以应对低患者健康素养的影响。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。此外，会议的目的是在2004年会议与会者制定的行动和方案的基础上再接再厉，主要是处方标签标准化项目，该项目已成为非加太基金会的主要方案拟订重点。ACP基金会赞助的研究论文的结果，探讨了处方标签标准化的实际，法律的和政策影响，将在会议上作为主题演讲。在会议的第二部分，会议主持人和与会者将参与业务讨论，从而可以利用会议上已经提出的信息以及与会者的专业知识制定改善健康素养低的行业具体行动步骤。这些下午的讨论将涉及知识渊博的专家和利益攸关方的小组，重点是推进具体的卫生知识普及目标。一个目标是推进处方标签标准化项目，该项目将在会议召开时从研究阶段进入政策和行动阶段。从长远来看，会议上制定的关于处方标签标准化的行动步骤 与往年一样，非加太基金会和其他参与组织将利用这些信息和其他卫生知识普及问题，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，这不成比例地影响穷人，老年人和少数民族人口（IOM：“结束困惑的处方”，2004）。

The ACP Foundation's Fourth Annual National Health Communication Conference will take place November 30, 2005. Titled "Practical Solutions to the Problems of Low Health Literacy," the conference 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. In addition, the conference aims to build on the actions and programs that were developed by participants in the 2004 Conference, primarily the Prescription Label Standardization Project, which has become a primary programming focus of the ACP Foundation. The results of the ACP Foundation-sponsored research paper, which explores the practical, legal, and policy ramifications of prescription label standardization, will be presented as a Keynote Address at the conference. During the second part of the conference, conference presenters and participants will engage in operational discussions whereby industry-specific 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. These afternoon discussions will involve small groups of knowledgeable experts and stakeholders focused on moving forward specific health literacy goals. One goal is the advancement of the Prescription Label Standardization Project, which will be poised to move past the research phase and into the policy and action phase at the time of the conference. In the long-term, the Action Steps developed at the conference regarding prescription label standardization and other health literacy issues will be used, as in past years, by the ACP Foundation and by other participating organizations 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 available 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 knowledgeable 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 disproportionately affects poor, elderly, and minority populations (IOM: 'A Prescription to End Confusion', 2004).
