AHRQ 2011 Annual Conference

Health Literacy and Cultural Competence Sessions at AHRQ Annual Conference

AHRQ’s free annual conference, AHRQ: Leading through Innovation and Collaboration, is being held September 18-20 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Maryland. Several sessions will be of particular interest to those working on health literacy and cultural competence issues:
 
·      CAHPS® and Quality: A Close-up of the CAHPS Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), Cultural Competence, and Health Literacy Item Sets. Learn about the development of the item sets and how they can be used for consumer reporting and generating quality improvement activities.
·      Care Transitions: Navigating the Health Care System. This session features health literate approaches to avoiding hospital readmissions – the Reengineered Discharge (RED) and the Transitional Care Model (TCM).
·      Previewing AHRQ Products: We Want Your Opinion. Drop by and give AHRQ feedback on draft products such as the TeamSTEPPS training module to improve patient safety for patients with limited English proficiency.
