I am interested in hearing from anyone who has ever estimated what low health literacy costs their organization (clinic, hospital, etc.) or knows of a resource that explains how this could be done. I would like to know how a formula was developed--what factors were considered, what mathematical operations were applied etc.  I would like to be able to do this for our organization and include it in an article I am writing for our health literacy newsletter.
Thanks in advance.
