Medical Terminology Knowledge Completing Authorizations
Medical terminology is one factor to consider when determining patients’ health literacy level. Unfortunately, it is often assumed that patients understand the instructions given by healthcare professionals. Patients with little to no medical terminology often have poor health literacy levels. Patients with poor health literacy also typically have poor health outcomes (Graham & Brookey, 2008). Due to the inability to understand medical terminology, patients find it difficult to make necessary decisions regarding their healthcare.
