Pharmacists should also be involved.  In our hospital, we have pharmacists
who are involved in the disease management process and often assist with
patient education as it relates to medication administration.

Hi Everyone:

    SOCIAL WORK...here we come into health literacy as a tool of
empowerment 
 The four primary roles of social workers are to: advocate, engage,
assess and empower clients, communities and government into action.
   Since social work is practiced in every setting, it is important to
recognize the unlimited contributions to health literacy talented and
skilled social workers can make. It is critical that social work has a
Seat and voice at the Health Literacy Table.
