Organizational health literacy: quality improvement measures with expert consensus.
The investigators sought to identify and evaluate existing organizational health literacy (OHL)-related quality improvement (QI) measures. They identified 22 OHL-related QI measures that have the support of experts in the field, and recommended additional measure development and testing.

Adapting patient experience data collection processes for lower literacy patient populations using tablets at the point of care.
This study compared the acceptability of low-literacy tablet-based and traditional paper-based patient experience surveys in English and Spanish. The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers & Systems Clinician & Group Survey (CG-CAHPS) was adapted for a pilot survey using low-literacy questions in Spanish and English. The majority of interview participants preferred the tablet version over the traditional paper-based survey. This was especially true for the younger and Latino respondents.
