Dear Colleagues,

 

We are developing a Health Literacy Universal Precautions toolkit for
use in primary care practices.  Therefore, we are looking for a broad
range of tools that can be used by practices to help patients get the
most out of their health care.  This includes but is not limited to:

 

1.       Staff training to improve cultural or literacy sensitivity and
patient communication & education

2.       Strategies for serving patients with low literacy or cultural
differences

3.       Strategies for practices to link with literacy or cultural
resources provided in the community

 

Please reply with any questions or if you have a tool that may be useful
to include. If you have a tool, please let us know the name of the tool,
how it is used, and what it costs.
