Susan offers a concise definition of health literacy and indicates it is of great relevance in efforts to ensure that patients engage or take part in wellness activities. Susan also correctly indicates that health literacy is often instrumental in seeking to further enhance overall patient outcomes. It should be noted that as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC (2022) indicates, health literacy could also be conceptualized in terms of personal health literacy and organizational health literacy. Whereas the former is concerned with individual health-information seeking and comprehension behavior, the latter has got to do with the extent to which organizations ease access to information (as well as comprehension of the same) meant to promote health literacy among individuals. My colleague has also restated the relevance of HIT on patient outcomes, as well as Health Economics. I am in agreement with Susans observation that health literacy has indeed increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an assertion further advanced by Molnar (2021) who make an observation to the effect that information-seeking behavior (specifically online) has been on an upward trend.

From the onset, it should be noted that my colleagues observation to the effect that...…More specifically, in the words of HRSA (2019), low health literacy is more prevalent among: older adults, minority populations, those who have low socioeconomic status, and medically underserved people. It therefore follows that there is need to further enhance health literacy across these populations. This is a position restated by my colleague. Harris has also indicated that health literacy has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. An observation has also been made to the effect that HIT was instrumental in efforts to rein in the disease. As Prescott and Prescott (2021) indicate, HIT has been particularly instrumental in the provision of epidemiology…

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
HEALTH LITERACY, HIT AND HEALTH ECONOMICSThe Intersection of Social Determinants of Health on HIT and Patient OutcomesHealth 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.
