Hello,
I am the director of a literacy council in Meadville PA, and am working
with a physician's group to
come up with a list of questions that could be asked at patient intake
that would reveal their
literacy needs. I was wondering if anyone has done this already with
success and if you'd be willing
to share. WE are engaging a local pharmacist also to help with
simplifiying medicine labels.
My thoughts are that with a good rapport, adults having literacy needs
would indicate that when
asked. Others might respond that they have no trouble with literacy and
you won't find out until
much later. Thanks for your help in this. If I didn't explain it
properly, I'll try again.
