Low health literacy and limited English proficiency (LEP) significantly impact health care access and outcomes for members of diverse racial and ethnic groups, including Asian and Latine individuals. Addressing these barriers is critical for improving health equity and ensuring effective communication in clinical settings. Low health literacy is associated with higher hospitalization rates, increased ER use, higher mortality, decreased use of preventative services, and increased health care costs. In the first activity of this CME Outfitters Snack series, expert faculty will explore strategies for enhancing health literacy and overcoming LEP barriers. The focus will be on interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient outcomes and equity in health care delivery. Learners will be equipped with tools such as Transcreation and the Teach-Back Method to address health literacy in practice.
