Understanding Health Literacy with Greg O'Neill and Dr. Himani Divatia

Sometimes hearing medical news and information can be difficult to wrap your head around. But understanding that information can be the difference between a good outcome and a poor outcome. Low health literacy is associated with more hospitalizations, greater use of emergency care, and higher mortality. Greg O'Neill, ChristianaCare's Patient and Family Health Education Director, and Dr. Himani Divatia, ChristianaCare's Associate Designated Institutional Official, join us to discuss the critical need for clear communication in healthcare, share examples of the Teach-Back method of understanding health instructions, and offer advice on how to better receive health information yourself.
