Health Literacy

"Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information needed to make appropriate health decisions.
Low health literacy is more prevalent among:

Older adults
Minority populations
Those who have low socioeconomic status
Medically underserved people"

What is our role in promoting health literacy?

Health literacy is a common thread through all of our programs. A large portion of the people we serve are poor and medically underserved.

They need help understanding and navigating a complex health care system. They require culturally competent providers who speak their language so they can make informed health care choices. A number of patients may be confused with certain medical language, have difficulty understanding English, struggle with filling out forms, or have limited access to health providers in their community. With the proper training, health care professionals can identify patients' specific health literacy levels and make simple communication adjustments."

The healthcare sector relies heavily on knowledge that is evidence-based information, diagnoses, and treatments that are implemented quickly in a patient’s best interests in treating patients. In the healthcare industry, the correct information can quite literally save lives—but only if professionals can have the ability to access it quickly from anywhere, at any time. HHS provides evidence-based, timely health information to the public participating through its main partners FDA, CDC, NCI, NIH, and NAID. A website containing such information would reduce overall healthcare costs in America by eliminating unnecessary expenses.

The Information and resources related to evidence-based programs and policies are shown below:

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
A group of medical and public health experts that develops recommendations on how to use vaccines to control diseases in the United States
CDC Guidelines and Recommendations
One-stop shop for guidelines or recommendations developed by CDC (and CDC collaborations with other organizations and agencies), or by CDC federal advisory committees; includes recommendations, strategies, and information to help decision makers choose courses of action in specific situations
Prevention of HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STDs, and TB Through Health Care Website
Information on policies and practices that leverage the healthcare system to help prevent HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB infections
Compendium of Proven Community-Based Prevention Programs External
Compendium of 79 evidence-based disease and injury prevention programs that have saved lives and improved health
Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide)External
Resource that helps users choose evidence-based programs and policies to improve health and prevent disease in communities
Prevention Status Reports
Reports that highlight—for all 50 states and the District of Columbia—the status of public health policies and practices designed to prevent or reduce 10 important public health problems
US Preventive Services Task Force External
Independent panel of nonfederal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine that conducts scientific evidence reviews of a broad range of clinical preventive health care services and develops recommendations for primary care clinicians and health systems

With my experience in the hospital, this website is suitable for the hospitals. But it can be used by any industry that wants to reduce healthcare costs for their employees by improving health and educating them with health information. The website contains evidence-based healthcare information and tools when adopted on a large scale would reduce overall healthcare costs in America. The website also has a provision for users to enter their information on ten or more website pages if the user wants. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched Healthy People 2030, with the goals for this decade as follows:

Attain healthy, thriving lives and well-being, free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.
Eliminate health disparities, achieve health equity, and attain health literacy to improve the health and well-being of all.
Create social, physical, and economic environments that promote attaining full potential for health and well-being for all.
Promote healthy development, healthy behaviors, and well-being across all life stages.
Engage leadership, key constituents, and the public across multiple sectors to take action and design policies that improve the health and well-being of all.

The update addresses personal health literacy and organizational health literacy and provides the following definitions:

Personal health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others.
Organizational health literacy is the degree to which organizations equitably enable individuals to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others.

In 2015 the U.S. spent nearly $9,000 for the health of every American — far more than what the governments of other countries spend on the health of their citizens – yet life expectancy and health outcomes are generally worse for Americans than for citizens of other developed nations in North America and Europe.

For the reasons of the high cost to treat disease in America, "disease prevention should be woven into all aspects of our lives, including where and how we live, learn, work and play. Everyone—government, businesses, educators, health care institutions, communities and every single American—has a role in creating a healthier nation.

The website has five major sections. 1. User Section: The home page entitled hospital has many links to get health information quickly. The home page is like an independent website to learn anything about healthcare. If the hospital wants to add specific information for their departments, this is the place to provide it. 2. Most Economic Burden Diseases: Describe diseases like arthritis, diabetes, chronic diseases, health literacy, heart disease, and stroke. 3. CDC Main Categories: Data & Statistics, Diseases & Conditions, Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Health, Featured content, Global Health, Healthy Living, Injury, Violence, & Safety, State, Tribal, Local, & Territorial, Travel Health, Workplace Safety & Health, and Other. 4. Media Type: Infographics, Microsites, Videos, and Widgets & CDC TV. 5. Footer: The footer is also like an independent website available on every website page. Here employees can make comments after reading articles to get credit for CE.

The healthcare sector relies heavily on knowledge that is evidence-based information, diagnoses, and treatments that could be implemented quickly in a patient’s best interests. CDC and others have tried to record this knowledge and communicate through different mediums such as articles, prints, audios, microsites, videos, widgets, and other records that can be quickly and easily transmitted from one individual to another for easier use. But the healthcare industry is so complex that no matter what the delivery system is. It involves multiple professionals in diverse workplaces collaborating to deliver proper care to patients. In addition, it requires tacit knowledge in the form of expert opinion gained through years of experience. Learning is a continuous process, but the goal of this website is to increase this knowledge to provide decision-makers with the tools they need to turn information into a Permanent Tacit Health Knowledge Asset within the healthcare facility they use it.

A healthcare website can create a more efficient flow of information between all your doctors and staff; nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and dieticians, which could ultimately increase healthcare efficiency and productivity. Developing this type of Tacit Health Knowledge Asset would decrease Healthcare Costs when adopted in most hospitals in America. On this website, I have tried to bring information from many sources outside to gain users experience.

By using the Walnut Healthcare Global System creative tool, every hospital has a chance to achieve maximum productivity through increasing healthcare efficiency by involving multi-talented groups of people within the hospital and technology working together to reduce healthcare costs. This website provides a lifelong educational offerings experience that develops management competencies and improves professional skills vital to succeeding through this tool. A separate booklet on the Self Power Leadership is available to management upon request.

The Self Power Leadership: An introductory guide to The Self Power Leadership and how to succeed at it.
By Umesh C. Bhargava, Ph. D., Walnut Healthcare Global System Creative Business Tool

How to Grow the Tacit Health Knowledge Asset? This knowledge or know-how is embedded or rooted in the mind of talented people, acquired through years of experience, expanded by getting together with talented people, as it is hard to communicate on this subject, sometimes it may be better to let the minds of people speak to each other through socialization as it can increase creativity and innovation in your organization. START A DISCUSSION BETWEEN EACH OTHER PICK A TOPIC.

Generally, a royalty is an agreement between the inventor (the licensor) and manufacturer, publisher, agent, or user (the licensee). In this case, the licensor has permitted to let the other users, or the hospitals use the inventor's ideas and creations free of royalty fees, as long as the licensee keeps the intellectual property performing well by allowing the maximum benefit to both parties, the licensor, and licensee, who have interest in the success this creation. There is no single way to charge or not charge royalty rates at the beginning. When you know the value of the patents, trademark, or copyright, you’ll be able to calculate the royalty rates more accurately and decide what to do. In the beginning, a licensing agreement will be made between the licensor and the licensee, free of charge for at least one year. But each customer has to pay yearly operation fees to maintain the website. Walnut Healthcare Global System owns and will continue to develop the four websites. Customer services and educational advocacy are to be provided by Walnut Healthcare. Each hospital or business will build the Tacit Health Knowledge Asset by their plan using the website and the Walnut Healthcare Global System Creative Tools as appropriate. Walnut Healthcare is the facilitator and completes the contractual agreements to start the process. Walnut Healthcare Global System can also add information to the customer's portion of the website at a low cost to make the site more useful to the business. We have four different websites for customers to test. For more information or questions, please contact [email protected].

Walnut Healthcare Global System (WHCGS) Creative Tools

The Walnut Healthcare Global System developed the Creative Tools to achieve maximum productivity through increasing health literacy involving multi-talented groups of people and technology working together to achieve the best results to reduce healthcare costs. Together with discovering the drivers of spending and spending growth in US health care. How do the organization’s strategy and decision-making processes impact total spending and value, and how to control them? Lifelong educational offerings that develop management competencies and improve professional skills are vital to succeed through this tool.

You also need Self Power learned with experience; it is that kind of power that helps you see things through your inner eye. For “The Self Power” to work, organizations need to create an environment that encourages creativity and innovation. Creativity in art increases boundaries beyond norms; for example, in recent years, woodturning has become an artistic craving for Sarena Bhargava’s creative expression, allowing her to explore the organic splendor and diverse energy of wood to create her art. Each piece of wood has a story to share and how it is transformed into a distinctively inspired expression of beauty and function. The art in the movie can be seen in the filmography at the International Movie Database (IMBd) by clicking here. Creativity and innovations can benefit humankind in many ways – Linda Naiman, founder of Creativity at Work. Institutions should focus on bringing together multi-talented groups of individuals who collaborate to exchange ideas and knowledge to shape different directions of the future.

Our mind works like a global brain that connects with other people using the different systems without even knowing them. For a computer to work, it needs an internet connection, the global brain works using other methods, and your mind expands manifolds and handles complex problems without any personal interference. Organizations led by such leaders would have a higher success rate in innovation, employee engagement, for any change, and renewal.

This website is the result of three patent applications working on the following concepts:

The first patent application deals with Providing and Spreading Health Literacy in Unique ways through Websites using Phones, WhatsApp, and Computers Singularly or in Combination with the Public and Healthcare Professionals to Decrease Nation's Healthcare Costs. The patent shows a website can effectively spread healthcare information to the public and healthcare professionals in a cost-effective manner on a large scale using 10,250 healthcare articles from the CDC that can theoretically be increased to a maximum of 250,000.

The second patent application deals with "Our mind works like a global brain that connects with other people using the different systems without even knowing them. For a computer to work, it needs an internet connection but, the global brain works using other methods, and your mind expands manifolds and handles complex problems without any personal interference. Organizations led by such leaders would have a higher success rate in innovation, employee engagement, any change, and renewal."

"The Walnut Healthcare Global System is a creative tool to achieve maximum productivity through increasing health literacy involving multi-talented groups of people and technology working together to achieve the best results to reduce healthcare costs. Together with discovering the drivers of spending and spending growth in US health care. How do the organization’s strategy and decision-making processes impact total spending and value, and how to control them? Lifelong educational offerings that develop management competencies and improving professional skills are vital to succeed through this tool.

The Self Power can be learned, it is that kind of power that helps you see things through your inner eye. For “The Self Power” to work, organizations need to create an environment that encourages creativity and innovation. After that, they should focus on bringing together multi-talented groups of individuals who collaborate to exchange ideas and knowledge to shape the direction of the future."

The third patent application deals with the design of the website. The website was created by making hundreds of websites, doing research, and using art and creativity on making websites with colors for over six years. Design thinking draws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning to explore all possibilities as shown on the following figure.

According to Linda Naiman, founder of Creativity at Work. creativity and innovations can benefit humankind in many ways "What if you could repair your body at the cellular level? Could food be grown right in the crowded cities where people live? How far can we extend the human life span?"

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Steve Jobs

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” Albert Einstein

Artist's mind works differently than other people woodturning has become an artistic craving for Sarena Bhargava’s creative expression, allowing her to explore the organic splendor and diverse energy of wood. Each piece of wood has a story to share and how it is transformed into a distinctively inspired expression of beauty and function. These creative expressions can be seen in her filmographic work at the International Movie Database (IMBd): by clicking here.

From Harvard 12 ways to cut health care costs

In the healthcare industry, the correct information can quite literally save lives—but only if professionals can have the ability to access it quickly from anywhere, at any time. The Internet has shifted toward more patient-centered care, enabling consumers to gather health-related information themselves; communicate with care providers, health plan insurance companies, and other consumers electronically; and even be willing to receive care in the home.
