HEALTH LITERACY, HIT AND HEALTH ECONOMICS
The Intersection of Social Determinants of Health on HIT and Patient Outcomes
Health Literacy, HIT on Patient Outcomes, as well as Health Economics could be of great relevance in clinical settings. For instance, Health Literacy, as Buchbinder and Shanks (2007) observe, could come in handy in efforts to prevent illnesses and help in the better management of diseases if and when they occur. On the other hand, HIT could be instrumental in the achievement of efficient and patient-centered care. For example, thanks to HIT, healthcare providers are able to significantly minimize the probability of errors resulting in better outcomes for patients, i.e. in relation to reliable and accurate prescriptions. Lastly, with regard to Health Economics, better resource utilization can be achieved and more superior decisions made. In this case, it becomes possible to attain efficiency and as Buchbinder and Shanks (2007) indicate, provide equitable care for populations (211). All three could be integrated into clinical practice via collaborative efforts between all stakeholders involved. This is more so the case given that each stakeholder has a crucial role to play in both the formulation and implementation stages.
In my opinion, Health Literacy could essentially be conceptualized as the skills as well as competencies...…those worst hit by the pandemic.
There are various strategies that could be deployed in efforts to overcome the various challenges associated with the three topics highlighted above in the nursing practice realm. One such strategy is active stakeholder involvement. Without taking into consideration the viewpoints of other stakeholders, i.e. patients when it comes to Health Literacy, any move to enhance or promote the same would likely fail. Similarly, to minimize resistance to change, healthcare professionals should be actively involved in efforts to deploy HIT in healthcare. One other strategy is reliance on evidence in the integration of the three into clinical practice. Evidence-based approaches could be instrumental in…

Therefore, I would tell the patient that their symptoms should not be considered in isolation of their whole person. Websites that address symptoms only are not taking into account the wealth of factors that can influence the diagnosis of a specific disease. At the same time, patients have the right to know about alternative solutions other than those provided or suggested by the physician or health care organization. Sometimes insurance
Health literacy involves understanding information about an individual's health in order for one to make informed decisions and know how they can take care of themselves.it is therefore very important for both children and their parents to be health literate. People who are not health literate can have a problem especially when it comes to taking instructions from doctors .this is because they might not know or understand these instructions
As the study is intended to be cross-sectional, a sample of size 200 will be taken from this study population. Study Instruments Health literacy will be evaluated using the Newest Vital Sign (NVS), which is a questionnaire available in both English and Spanish. The questionnaire consists of six questions which measure the ability of the individual to read and apply information taken from a nutritional label found on food and beverage
Health Literacy CRITIQUE OF CONCEPT ANALYSIS (HEALTH LITERACY) Significance of Concept to Presenter Health literacy is very important to me because the concept is vital when it comes to health care in general specifically in nursing. It has a great impact on the patient's capability to understand and process information necessary for optimal health. As a nurse, it is important to me that I am aware of my patient's literacy level for
Abstract Opioid abuse is a problem in the US, particularly among the youth population. This is a health risk behavior that has arisen in the US for quite some time, largely due to the influence of the pharmaceutical industry’s push of drugs like Oxycontin onto the market (Coplan et al., 2016). The US Department of Health and Human Services (2020) reports that 0.7 percent of young people aged 12 years and up
