Health Literacy refers to the set of skills needed to read, understand, and act on basic health care information. According to the Center for Health Care Strategies, and National Academy on Aging Society, over 90 million adults with low health literacy skills have limited ability to read and understand the instructions contained on prescriptions or medicine bottles, appointment slips, informed consent documents, insurance forms, and health education materials.
