Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, communicate, and understand basic health information and services needed to make health decisions effectively. Adequate health literacy is essential for the optimal management of rheumatic diseases due to their multi-organ involvement and complex medication regimens. We review a recent quality assurance study which utilized a universal precautions health literacy approach and demonstrated significant improvement in medication adherence among patients with rheumatic diseases.
