The National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy (US Department of Health and Human Services) is aimed at making health information and services easier to understand and use. The Action Plan contains seven goals, each with specific strategies for different sectors of the health system, such as payers, the media, government agencies, and health care professionals, to improve health literacy. These goals emphasize the importance of creating health and safety information that is accurate, accessible, and actionable. |
