Julie, We developed an "eform" that is in our computer system. When 
patients are discharged the nurse completes the form. We did testing 
prior to initiating it into our system and have had very good reviews 
from our patients including patients with literacy issues. Deb
ps Sorry the scanned image is not very clear.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1792] Wednesday Question: Take-home products to 
help improve health	AND literacy


> Hi Everyone,

> 

> I think the AHRQ Pill Card that Cheryl just linked us to is an

> interesting exampleof a take-home product that could be initiated by

> either health educators or literacy educators, and help improve

> people's health and literacy skills at the same time.

> 

> For example, I can imagine creating these pill cards with students in

> an adult literacy class, and finding that not only does the student get

> a useful tool to put up in their medicine cabinet, but also a good

> practice in reading, writing, numeracy, and understanding information

> in chart form.

> 

> So my question today is: 

> 

> What other take-home products have literacy teachers or health

> educators created with students and patients that could also work like

> this? How do people respond? In what ways is it helpful or not?

> 

> Has anyone created these pill cards?

> 

> Love to hear some thoughts,
