Nursing Grand Rounds: Health Literacy and Systemic Racism – Using Clear Communication to Reduce Health Care Inequities

This presentation uses national health literacy data, combined with real-world health communication examples, to show how unnecessarily complex health information promotes inquiries in access to usable health information for American Indian/Alaska Native-, Black-, and Hispanic-identified populations, thus producing an overlooked form of systemic racism. A “universal precautions” solution is presented, and recommendations for policy interventions for health professions schools and health systems accrediting agencies are proposed.
