Health Literacy for Clinical Educators and Health Literacy Leads
A patient’s health literacy is their ability to read, understand, and use health care information to make informed decisions and modify behaviours that affect their personal healthcare needs. Promoting health literacy creates a more collaborative care environment, one that empowers patients to have greater agency in, and control over, their own care decisions.
CCMI’s Health Literacy offerings emphasize the importance of being able to support patients and communicate clearly so that patients and family members can truly participate in care. Participants will gain an understanding of health literacy concepts and learn practical skills for engaging with patients to ensure clear and effective communication.
This webinar provides training in fundamental concepts from the health literacy universal precautions and includes content on plain language and design (PEMAT), health literacy and medication adherence. Learners will complete a project that will engage them in assessment and action to improve health literacy at organizational and community levels. They will also be taught core skills including how to use resources, plain language, teach-back, and Ask-Tell-Ask.
Webinar dates: November 17th 8:30 – 12:30, November 24th, 8:30 – 12:30. Participants need to attend both sessions as this is a 1-day workshop
Appropriate for clinical educators and health literacy leads who have opportunities to assess and enhance their organization’s health literacy programs at a system level. Also appropriate for people who design patient education material, or have input in its design, review, or promotion. |
