Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. Trainer Yael Lipton will cover evidence-based tools for communicating with patients most effectively in a way that adapts to their level of health literacy.

Through group exercises and practical demonstrations, the training will focus on tools for: 1) limiting and tailoring health information through a person-centered approach; and 2) using plain language and the teach-back method so that patients are more likely and able to act on the health information.

  • Patient Navigators
  • Care Coordinators
  • Community Health Workers
Registration Cost: Free
