Sponsor's own description
Health literacy describes one's capability to understand and implement health information in daily practice. Hospital referral letters remain a main information tool for patients as well as physicians with information about therapeutic measures done during hospital stay as well as recommendations on drug intake, further therapies or diagnostics to be done after hospital discharge. With increasing medical knowledge, hospital referral letters have become more difficult to understand for patients and stakeholders alike. The aim of this study is to develop a patient-friendly referral letter that is easier to understand while transporting the same amount of information for patients as well as stakeholders.
