Question: Write Professional Portfolio- Focusing On Clinical Learning And Teaching Competence. Answer: Rudd (2010) studied that missing health literacy is a major reason for defected health care services and outcomes. In similar manner health literacy lacking in the patients of provided case scenario leads to the issue of a drug overdose. The ways in which missing health literacy leads to this issue are improper information transmission, lacking effective communication and linguistic transmission between the healthcare provider and patient, and patients misconception of prescribed medication due to lacking health literacy. Health care administrator considerations while managing marketing programs are: - Getting marketing programs constructed in simple English as well as other non-native languages for better health literacy in hospital Before launching any marketing program it is better to get all the health information reviewed from healthcare professional to avoid transmission of incorrect information (Zhang, Terry McHorney, 2014). Consequences of communications without health literacy Missing patient interest and understanding of medical terminologies Improper transmission of information due to lacking health literacy (Arnold Boggs, 2015). Impact of health literacy on health program communication and delivery Patient able to understand the medical terminologies and concepts Effective communication between patient and healthcare provider Effective health care process establishment (Fischhoff, 2012). Explanation of consequences Missing patient interest and understanding of medical terminologies Due to lack of health literacy patients are not able to understand the basic concepts used in medical programs. Hence, the major challenge that administrator usual face is to develop audience interest. Zhang, Terry McHorney (2014) stated that audience belonging to the medical background is only able to understand medical programs as per feedback collection analysis. Improper transmission of information due to lacking health literacy Mottus et al. (2014) indicated that transparencies of health terminologies in health programs are important because transmission of wrong information can lead to serious health hazards. The missing health literacy influences this factor leading to transmission of incorrect information to target audience. Explanation on the effects of health literacy Patient able to understand the medical terminologies and concepts Health literacy provides a better understanding of medical terminologies to the patients. Rudd (2010) studied that one year program on health literacy conducted in a private hospital of Canada minimised medication error (30%), mortality rate (10%) and ICU cases (5%) in the hospital. Effective communication between patient and healthcare provider Better understanding will germinate better communication and effective relationships that will positively affect health care delivery (Fischhoff, 2012). Effective health care process establishment Health literacy ensures better communication, effective transmission of information, and patient understanding the medical terminologies will directly benefit the health care process by establishing a stronger working process in medical scenario (Arnold Boggs, 2015).
