Health literacy is recognized as an integral component of high-quality health care. However, health literacy has been understudied in the context of cancer care delivery and surgical decision making. The goal of this article is to outline a process for implementation of a health literacy screening assessment within the routine practices of an academic breast surgical oncology clinic. The self-reported health literacy assessment is feasible, particularly with integration of the health literacy screen in the electronic health record. The authors' estimated clinic prevalence of low health literacy was 22%, which has numerous implications for communication and shared decision-making processes. .
健康素养被视为高质量医疗保健的一个不可或缺的组成部分。然而，在癌症护理提供和手术决策的背景下，健康素养一直未得到充分研究。本文的目的是概述在学术性乳腺外科肿瘤诊所的常规实践中实施健康素养筛查评估的过程。自我报告的健康素养评估是可行的，特别是将健康素养筛查整合到电子健康记录中。作者估计该诊所健康素养低的患病率为22%，这对沟通和共同决策过程有诸多影响。
