In this episode of Karger’s The Waiting Room Podcast, we talk with Catherine Richards Golini, who works as a Healthcare Publications Editor at Karger Publishers, about health literacy. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health literacy as “the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in ways which promote and maintain good health”.
While we can’t influence the level of knowledge or personal skills of an individual, we can make sure the information we as a publisher offer is relevant and easy to understand. Thus, we support patients and their supporters in their efforts to make informed decisions and be on a level playing field with all actors of the health care system.
