SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Proposed Project
Development of a Health Information
Rating System (HIRS)
Over the past several years, low
health literacy has been identified as an
important health care quality issue.
Healthy People 2010 defined health
literacy as ‘‘the degree to which
individuals have the capacity to obtain,
process, and understand basic health
information and services needed to
make appropriate health decisions.’’ In
2003, the Institute of Medicine
identified health literacy as a crosscutting area for health care quality
improvement. According to the 2003
National Assessment of Adult Literacy,
only 12 percent of adults have proficient
health literacy.
Persons with limited health literacy
face numerous health care challenges.
They often have a poor understanding of
basic medical vocabulary and health
care concepts. A study of patients in a
large public hospital showed that 26
percent did not understand when their
next appointment was scheduled and 42
percent did not understand instructions
to ‘‘take medication on an empty
stomach.’’ In addition, limited health
literacy leads to more medication errors,
more and longer hospital stays, and a
generally higher level of illness,
resulting in an estimated excess cost for
the US health care system of $50 billion
to $73 billion per year.
Health care providers can improve
their patients’ health outcomes by
delivering the right information at the
right time in the right way to help
patients prevent or manage chronic
conditions such as diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, hypertension,
and asthma. Electronic health records
(EHRs) can help providers offer patients
the right information at the right time
during office visits, by directly
connecting patients to helpful resources
on treatment and self-management.
EHRs can also facilitate clinicians’ use
of patient health education materials in
the clinical encounter. However, health
education materials delivered by EHRs,
