It’s a common complaint throughout healthcare: there just isn’t enough time to really communicate with patients to understand their unique situations and create personalized treatment and wellness programs. But the problem isn’t confined to episodic care—as medical care has grown more complex, providers find themselves dealing with a national crisis in basic patient health literacy.
