National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy

National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy was developed to engage organizations, professionals, policymakers, communities, individuals, and families to improve health literacy. The plan is based on the principles that all consumers have the right to health information that helps them make informed decisions and that health services should be delivered in understandable and beneficial ways. The goal is to work toward a health care system that provides access to accurate and actionable health information and delivers person-centered information and services to support lifelong learning and good health. The plan was released in 2010 by the U.S. Department . . .
