Accreditation Summary Brief

The Health Literacy Summit brings together professionals from diverse fields to discuss health literacy challenges and share practices and strategies to support individuals, families, and communities. It creates unique learning and networking opportunities for those that are new to health literacy. Experts in the field will appreciate being able to build on perspectives from academic research, clinical practice, and adult education.

Intended Audience

Healthcare professionals, insurers, adult education providers, pharmacy staff, community-based organizations, patient advocates, researchers, and public health officials will find value in attending the Summit.

Statement of Need and Purpose

This educational event enables participants to learn and share new and relevant information about health literacy. Although publishing literacy initiatives remains an important dissemination method, faster methods such as this Summit create learning opportunities for participants to rapidly apply and affect meaningful change.

Lack of formal training for members of the healthcare team, and organizations that are not designed to meet the needs of all patients can prevent the use of best practices, increasing the importance of health literacy professional development activities. The Summit will focus on best practices to help better meet the needs of patients and community members from a variety of backgrounds, and different levels of knowledge and skills.

Elements of Competence

This educational activity is designed to change learner competence and focuses on the following competency areas:

ACGME/Nursing: Interpersonal and Communication Skills and Patient/Person-Centered Care
Interprofessional: Interprofessional Communication
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Address Health Disparities

Global Learning Objectives

By the end of the Summit, participants as members of the interprofessional healthcare team will be able to:

Discuss ways the interprofessional healthcare team communicates about and integrates health literacy into prevention or management of disease and health promotion.
Explain how to use health literacy practices and principles in different contexts.
Identify skills and strategies to use when working with different communities and/or design relevant health programs or resources.
Describe factors to consider when helping consumers find, understand, and use health information and manage their health.
