I work in a rehabilitation center
At this time we are only beginning to look at what JCAHO accreditation will mean for us
Within this group we do have some management staff who have worked in developing low literacy materials
We also have adult educatiors like myself who have been advocating to have Literacy  Health and Community included as part of our in house trainings. 
We have as an agency also begun to identify consumer friendly easy-to-read health infromation.
This creates a rather informal group of expertise but at this time we are still small enough to be able to collaborate and use each others skills.
But it certainly likely to be an issue for the future. Kathyann
