Health Literacy Dashboard: A work in progress


Things are moving along here in Newark. Just wanted to share a quick link with you all so that you can get a feel for the work that we are doing. January has been a very busy month and among other things, Richard and I have been working with some of the IT team in the library to create a Health Literacy Dashboard that will be accessible online and be a quick link as part of the clinical desktop on all computers in the hospital. This way providers will have information at their fingertips. It is still in development and will soon be populated with more information. This will include maps of the hospital, communication techniques for providers, and health information that is appropriate for those with limited health literacy.

We would love to hear your feedback so that we can improve on this basic dashboard.

Really interesting project, Maggie. Wish I had this kind of a tool for my work… or even my life! Love what you guys have so far, though I wonder kind of content will go under the “verbal communication” section I wonder…
