Today’s health literacy grand rounds focus on improving communication strategies to better serve diverse patient populations. Key objectives include identifying gaps in understanding family preferences for social determinants of health (SDOH) screening during hospitalization and highlighting how effective patient-provider communication enhances care. The discussion will explore how clear, compassionate, and culturally sensitive communication improves patient satisfaction, medical understanding, and adherence to treatment plans. Additionally, it will address the importance of mindful language choices in reducing stigma and fostering better patient-provider relationships, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and a more supportive care experience for diverse populations.
