Colleagues,
I have been asked to comment on what are we doing to enhance a
patient's understanding of their health status?  this would include

health literacy, varying literacy levels, empowering the patient to be
involved in their care, and decision-making by the patient.  

Would any be able to help with this area.  Thanks very much in advance
for your help.
Rich
