Strategies to Improve Health Literacy and Clinical Outcomes

Patient Engagement has long been a buzzword for clinicians and health care organizations — however true engagement strategies and patient-centered care designs have fallen flat for many organizations or become simply a theoretical vision. In order to meet Meaningful Use standards and most importantly improve clinical outcomes for patients, providers must actually engage and incorporate patients into the equation for better health outcomes.

Make your plans now to join us at the Institute for Healthcare Advancement's 13th Annual Health Literacy Conference, scheduled for May 7-9, 2014 in Irvine, California. We have an immersive and instructive experience planned for you to increase your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and provide you with opportunities to share your programs and network with your colleagues. We are also infusing the conference with a strong focus on the Affordable Care Act, and how health literacy fits into the puzzle.

The National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH) is pleased to present the following webinar. This complimentary webinar is for the staff of migrant/community health centers and other non-profit organizations working directly with migrant and seasonal agricultural workers only.
