Course Overview

In the past 10 years, lots of research has been done under the banner of Health Literacy. This research has explored why some people get worse outcomes from the health care system and what we can do about it. This research has enabled a set of theories and practices that:

• Improve client understanding and confidence in making informed decisions
• Reduce complaints
• Improve service experience for clients who may struggle to access or understand your service

Health literacy can improve outcomes for a broad range of clients, regardless of age, gender, socio-economic background or ethnicity.

Health Literacy Essentials Has Four Sections.

1. Health Literacy Introduction – This section compares health literacy to everyday situations. We use these comparisons to highlight what health literacy is and how it impacts health consumers
2. Health Literacy in depth – This section uses a fun quiz to detail the current state of health literacy in Australia and what it means for you.
3. Universal Precautions Approach –This section highlights the recommended approach to low health literacy through fun activities.
4. Plain Language Communication– this section gives you the opportunity to identify and practice using plain language communication including checking shared understanding.
