National Action Plan
Two core principles:
- All people have the right to health information that helps them
make informed decisions
- Health services should be delivered in ways that are easy to
understand and that improve health, longevity, and quality of life It will take everyone working together in a linked and coordinated manner to improve access to accurate and actionable health information and usable health services. By focusing on health literacy issues and working together, we can improve the accessibility, quality, and safety of health care; reduce costs; and improve the health and quality of life of millions of people.
Tremendous Attention on Rehospitalization
Efficiency
Allows for the alignment of improving quality and decreasing cost
Plentiful
2006: 39.5 million hospital discharges with costs totaling $329.2 billion!

Embodied Conversational Agent
ECA – Educator at the time of discharge from the hospital Who Would You Rather Receive Discharge Instructions From? N= 143
1=definitely prefer doc, 4=neutral, 7=definitely prefer agent
36% prefer agent 48% neutral 16% prefer doc or nurse
“I prefer Louise, she’s better than a doctor, she explains more, and doctors are always in a hurry.” “It was just like a nurse, actually better, because sometimes a nurse just gives you the paper and says ‘Here you go.’ Louise explains everything.”
Intervention to Promote Walking in Older Adults
Based on qualitative methods with members of our target audience, poor older adults, we designed “Tanya” to promote exercise behavior based on Social Cognitive Theory and the Transtheoretical Model of change
