Health Literate Practices Can Facilitate State Health Insurance Exchange Communication

Pages 372-375 | Published online: 22 Mar 2012
 

Acknowledgments

Building upon the 2004 report Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion, the Institute of Medicine has convened a Roundtable on Health Literacy. The Roundtable brings together leaders from academia, industry, government, foundations and associations, and representatives of patient and consumer interests who have an interest and role in improving health literacy. The mission of the Roundtable is to move forward the field of health literacy by translating research findings to practical strategies that can be implemented. To achieve this mission, the Roundtable discusses challenges facing health literacy practice and research, and identifies approaches to promote health literacy through mechanisms and partnerships in both the public and private sectors.

Notes

1The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, Public Law 111-148) was signed into law on March 23, 2010. The PPACA was later amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152) and the final version is referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
