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:

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

About the patent Inventor: Umesh Bhargava, BS., B. Pharm., MS., Ph. D., R. Ph. is a first-generation Indian American who completed his MS in Pharmacy from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 1961, shown above on the left. Then started Research Assistantship on Black Walnut with Missouri University Hospital at Columbia, shown on the right. While on Research Assistantship, he did his Ph. D. in Pharmacology in 1967 with the research on Pharmacology of Ellagic Acid from Black Walnut. Ellagic Acid is a polyphenolic compound present in many fruits and vegetables which works against diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc., that became popular on the internet between 1970 and 1990. Ellagic Acid might have popularized the consumption of fruits and vegetables in people who believed Vegan lifestyle. According to Oncologists, a published report, Ellagic Acid was the best discovery of the decades. Fruits like pomegranate, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, walnuts, and pecans are rich in ellagic acid.
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.

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.
