8️⃣8️⃣% of adults don’t have the level of health literacy needed for their healthcare journey. Adults without proper levels of health literacy are also more likely to:
✍️ Leave medical forms and assessments unfinished
🎙️ Rely on non-print media for health information
❌ Skip visits, follow-ups, and procedures
At Muse Health™, we firmly believe health literacy is one of the keys to promoting health equity. If patients understand their health, they can take the steps they need to stay healthy like making preventive visits, asking for what they need, and following care instructions. Without health literacy, patients don’t know what to ask for.
