We love a well-designed, easy-to-understand infographic here at HLM, and this one we created is just that! #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia

@mnovendstern Nice ideal. The reality of healthcare is that (at least) 1 in 20 outpatient diagnoses are wrong (perhaps as many as 1 in 5), and 1 in 1000 orders are for the wrong drug or wrong patient. That’s the level of actual precision that the current system delivers.

[Bruce Lambert @bruce_lambert]

@SpencrGreenberg When I told folks on TikTok that roughly one per thousand medication orders in the hospital are for the wrong drug, 1 per 1000 prescriptions in retail pharmacy are the wrong drug, and average med error rate in US hospitals is 1 per patient per day, excluding wrong time errors.

We are looking for people with health literacy experience to join our team.

When things don’t go as planned in healthcare, it’s crucial to have open conversations. Empathy and honesty aren’t just ‘nice to have’—they’re the foundation of healing. #HealthCommunication #PatientSafety

[Bruce Lambert @bruce_lambert]

Facing harm in healthcare can be a challenging journey. It’s not just about the physical wounds; emotional healing matters too. Let’s pledge to support one another with empathy and transparency. #PatientSafety #HealthCommunication #CANDOR

A team of @ILLINOISmed students broke communication barriers with an award-winning MedEd simulation.

This simulation educates medical students about medical interpreters and cultural sensitivity by taking it a step further with practical application. ▶️ https://t.co/E8gtibsk85
