Unified Health Communication (UHC): Addressing Health Literacy, Cultural
Competency, and Limited English Proficiency is free, on-line,
go-at-your-own-pace training that has helped more than 4,000 health care
professionals and students improve patient-provider communication.
.
Take the course any time, night or day, to improve your ability to
communicate with patients and overcome barriers that can keep patients
from taking their medications according to your instructions, going to the
emergency room when they would be better served in primary care or
otherwise preventing them from getting the full benefit of the quality
care you provide.
.
Medically underserved patients may have particular difficulty
communicating with their health care providers. If you treat patients who
are low income, uninsured, and/or whose English proficiency is low,
Unified Health Communication can help you:
.
Acknowledge cultural diversity and deal sensitively with cultural
differences that affect the way patients navigate the health care system,
Address low health literacy and bridge knowledge gaps that can prevent
patients from adhering to prevention and treatment protocols, and
Accommodate low English proficiency and effectively use tools that dont
rely on the written or spoken word.
