Description: Modern healthcare is a landscape of increasing technology usage, ever changing privacy rules, and complicated forms and processes. It is no wonder many patients have low health literacy--even professionals in the field can find it complicated. Patients need to know their rights. They need to know how they can be more empowered with their healthcare. Everyone in healthcare should be more mindful about these needs. We should see these needs are our shared responsibility. This presentation will go over the regulations and provide suggestions on how we can increase patient literacy nationwide.
