Dr. Lisa Jones asked for examples of innovative approaches to patient
education. Beyond what I posted on this list yesterday, perhaps Dr. Jones
and others would be interested in knowing about the ongoing collaboration
between new readers (adults who are learning to read) and health providers
(doctors, nurses, public health specialists, and others who communicate
health information) in Iowa.
Archie Willard (himself a new reader) is a leader in this collaboration. He
is rightfully proud of their many accomplishments including several health
literacy conferences. I had the pleasure of writing about their 2004
conference, ""Health and Literacy Working Together."
To learn more about the collaboration between new readers and health
professionals, you are welcome to contact Archie Willard directly at
millard at goldfieldaccess.net. And I will gladly email a copy of this article
to whoever is interested. You can reach me at helen at healthliteracy.com
Again, thank you for asking about innovative approaches to patient
education.
Best,
~Helen

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 364] Looking for innovative patient ed. programs
I am an Ob-Gyn working with ABC News Medical Unit on a story about
innovative approaches to patient education. We are planning to include
group appointments, kiosks in public spaces, and "patient schools" . Would
love to get suggestions on other places to look
Thanks!
