Review techniques to improve communication with low-literacy patients 5. Discuss the economic impact of low health literacy Health Care Experiences Low-literacy patients commonly hide their difficulty Many feel ashamed Avoidant behaviors When do you suspect low literacy? Your experiences? Parikh et al Weiss Possible Indicators of Low Health Literacy Excuses: I forgot my glasses. Lots of papers folded up in purse/pocket Lack of follow-through with tests/appts. Seldom ask questions Questions are basic in nature Difficulty explaining medical concerns or how to take meds Universal Precautions Can t tell by looking Communicate clearly with everyone Confirm understanding with everyone Weiss Katz et al 2007.
4 Page 4 Overview 1. Define health literacy 2. Describe the health care experiences of lowliteracy patients 3. Discuss health literacy and medication use 4. Review techniques to improve communication with low-literacy patients 5. Discuss the economic impact of low health literacy Low Literacy and Medication Use Ability to identify their own medications x greater odds Understanding of how to take medications Take med every 6 hrs 52% correct Take med on empty stomach 46% correct Understanding of drug mechanisms and side effects Warfarin works by thinning blood 70% correct Bleeding/bruising most common SE 49% correct Misinterpretation of common warning labels 3-4 x more likely to misinterpret Kripalani et al Gazmararian et al Fang et al Davis et al Misinterpretation of Warning Labels Don't take food Chew pill and crush before swallowing Chew it up so it will dissolve. Don t swallow whole or you might choke Don't leave medicine in the sun Don't drink and drive Don t drink alcohol. It s poison, and it ll kill you If allergic to dairy, don't take medicine Don t eat for 1 hour after taking medicine Stats to Show Understanding Simple, familiar-- 1 st grade level 84% More complex-- 10 th - 12 th grade level 59% Unfamiliar, multi-step 10 th -13 th grade level 8% Don t take when wet. Don t need water Don t drink hot water Use extreme caution in how you take it Medicine will make you feel dizzy Take only if you need it Davis et al Adapted from Table 3. Davis et al Adapted from Table 3.
5 Page 5 Health Literacy and Medication Use Understanding of numerical information If your blood test result for warfarin is just right when it is between 2.0 and 3.0, which of the following results would be just right? 29% correct Medication adherence Adverse drug events (?) Health care costs Some Challenges in Trying to Improve Things Increasingly complex health system Greater self-care requirements More medications for chronic conditions Formulary and manufacturer changes Medication reconciliation Most patient instructions are written Low-literacy pts have trouble understanding Verbal instructions Often complex Delivered rapidly Easy to forget in stressful situation Fang et al Gazmararian et al Howard et al Overview 1. Define health literacy 2. Describe the health care experiences of lowliteracy patients 3. Discuss health literacy and medication use 4. Review techniques to improve communication with low-literacy patients 5. Discuss the economic impact of low health literacy Recommended Strategies to Improve Communication 1. Explain things clearly in plain language 2. Focus on key messages and repeat 3. Use a teach back or show me technique to check understanding 4. Effectively solicit questions 5. Use patient-friendly educational materials to enhance interaction Weiss Kripalani and Weiss 2006.
6 Page 6 1. Explain It Clearly in Plain Language Slow down the pace of your speech Use plain, non-medical language Blood pressure pill instead of antihypertensive Pay attention to patient s own terms and use them back Avoid vague terms Take 1 hour before you eat breakfast instead of Take on an empty stomach Using Plain Language: What could we say instead of Adverse reaction Hypoglycemia PRN Topical Suppository Side effect Low sugar When you need it On skin Pill that goes in your bottom/behind 2. Focus on Key Messages and Repeat 3. Check Understanding Using Teach-Back Limit information Focus on 1-3 key points Develop short explanations for common medical conditions and side effects Discuss specific behaviors rather than general concepts What the patient needs to do Review each point at the end Schillinger et al 2003
7 Page 7 Teach Back Scripts I want to make sure I explained everything clearly. If you were trying to explain to your husband how to take this medicine, what would you say? Let s review the main side effects of this new medicine. What are the 2 things that I asked you to watch out for? Show me how you would use this inhaler. 4. Effectively Solicit Questions Don t say: Do you have any questions? Any questions? Instead say: What questions do you have? 5. Patient-Friendly Materials Appropriate Content Plain Language (K.I.S.S.) Layout Illustrations
8 Page 8 Overview 1. Define health literacy 2. Describe the health care experiences of lowliteracy patients 3. Discuss health literacy and medication use 4. Review techniques to improve communication with low-literacy patients 5. Discuss the economic impact of low health literacy Low Health Literacy = Use of More Health Care Services People with low health literacy had 6% more hospital visits Fewer doctor visits, more hospital resources Economic Impact of Low Health Literacy $73 billion extra in 1998 dollars Medicare pays 39 % FICA pays additional expenditure THE JOINT COMMISSION REPORTS 65% of Sentinel Events 90% of Root Cause Analyses Patient Safety Goal effective January 1, 2006 facilities must implement a standardized approach to hand-off communications, including an opportunity to ask and respond to questions

10 Page 10 Help me make sure I ve explained things clearly Help me make sure I ve explained things clearly so far How do you know if a patient has low health literacy? Name at least 2 techniques to improve communication with low-literacy patients. Help me make sure I ve explained things clearly so far Provide an example of the teach-back. Wrap Up Adopt Universal Precautions Implement Strategies to Improve Communication, e.g., Plain Language Focus on Key Messages Teach Back
