HealthBeat: Pioneering efforts by Dr. Shashank Kraleti using medical news coverage in simple language to improve health literacy

Sumit N Fogla

Abstract :

 

Inadequacy in health literacy is a hidden epidemic. “Do you understand?’ The patient often nods or provides an excuse that s/he will go home and read, or may have forgotten the reading glasses. Underlying however is the fact that many of the issues raised during a clinical encounter may not have been registered adequately at all. This is at the heart of lowered quality of care.
