The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Health Literacy published a discussion paper on the Ten Attributes of Health Literate Health Care Organizations. This paper is significant because it shifts the thinking about health literacy from a deficit mode to a model that looks at reducing the complexity of the health care system. CLG members Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi and Audrey Riffenburgh are co-authoring a supporting document entitled Building Health Literate Health Care Organizations: A Guide to Organizational Change (in print).
