PrimaryCare

 

I'm not sure if I understand the request - toolkit.

Working with the NYC Dept of Health, Chronic Disease Division's Clinical
Systems Improvement, we have just completed an Obesity Detailing Kit.
This new kit uses an elaborated model of health literacy to discuss
obesity with providers and their patients.  It was developed
collaboratively using expert, provider and consumer discussion.

Is this the kind of material you're requesting?

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2065] Universal Precautions Toolkit for Primary
Care

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.
