$238 Billion Reasons to Assess Health Materials
Clear communication doesn’t happen by accident. Even well-written materials can be ineffective patients can’t understand the information or don’t know how to use it. Limited literacy, language barriers, and digital access challenges all contribute to health materials falling short of the mark.
That’s why consistent, systematic assessment for health literacy is essential.
Studies show that:
- 88% of U.S. adults struggle to understand and use health information
- Patients with limited literacy skills are up to 69% more likely to be hospitalized
- Improving health literacy could prevent nearly 1 million Medicare hospital visits annually
- $106 to $238 billion in preventable annual healthcare costs are linked to low health literacy
- Only 12% of people have the skills needed to manage or prevent chronic disease
- Among older adults, only 17% demonstrate proficient digital health literacy
These statistics are symptoms of a system-level communication failure. Patients who can’t understand or use the health information they receive experience worsened outcomes, higher costs, and a wider equity gap.
