Study Summary
The ability to communicate with patients is profoundly impacted by their health literacy - the ability to interpret documents, read and write prose, use quantitative information and speak and listen effectively. Limited health literacy is commonplace and associated with multiple poor health outcomes including frequent readmission's and high mortality. Advance directives are an important tool in respecting patient autonomy in health care interventions. Advance directives can also reduce health care costs by avoiding unwanted, unnecessary care at the end of life. At the University of Florida (UF) Health currently an initiative is underway to improve the delivery of advance directives to patients in the hospital as well as the outpatient clinics. The aim of this research study is to enhance completion rates of advance directives by taking into consideration a patient's health literacy level. Specifically, the investigators plan to assess the impact of an ambulatory intervention on the completion rate of advance directives for patients with adequate and limited health literacy. The hypothesis is that both groups (adequate and limited health literacy) will benefit from the intervention, but patients with limited health literacy will show a greater improvement in the advance directives completion rate.
