Continuing education credits have been applied for nurses, case managers and disability management specialists.

As a healthcare provider, one of your roles is to help your patients or clients navigate the complex healthcare system. But even the most dedicated healthcare provider cannot ensure that his or her patients are able to accurately communicate their family's medical history, understand the instructions on their prescription bottles, or have the know-how to manage a chronic disease. You present your patients with educational materials — but do your patients understand the content?

To help you deal with the obvious and not-so-obvious consequences of health illiteracy, Case in Point has convened a distinguished panel of experts who have hands-on experience with the day to day challenges of health illiteracy and are addressing this issue successfully in their own organizations. At this 90-minute webinar, you will gain practical and proven tactics for improving your ability to communicate more effectively with your patients so they can be more health literate and achieve better outcomes.

Please join us on June 23 to learn about all aspects of the health literacy challenge including who it impacts most, its impact on healthcare and healthcare costs, and the legal implications health illiteracy has on the field of medicine. Plus, you and your team will walk away with new ideas and discover resources to help you improve health literacy in your own healthcare setting.

Register today to secure your spot. You can invite your whole team to attend at one low price. Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the program and materials until December 31, 2010. At the end of the webinar, you and your team will be able to ask questions of the faculty.
