This year's American College of Physicians conference will focus on the impact of low health literacy on health care quality, medication labels, physicians' practices and the linkages between literacy and health literacy. Historically, the ACP Foundation's Health Communication Conferences have attracted a broad range of national, regional and local organizations that are in a position to help individuals with low health literacy. Attendees represent a wide array of organizations, including academia, medicine, large employers, pharmaceuticals, media, health insurance, patient advocacy, and government.
Among the sessions planned:
- Health Literacy Interventions in Health Systems
- System Redesign to Provide Health Literacy Sensitive Clinical Care
- The Impact of Health Literacy on Health Care Quality
- Medication Label Improvement: An Issue at the Intersection of Health Literacy and Patient Safety
