TLDR
There is little sufficient or consistent evidence suggesting that it is independently associated with processes or outcomes of diabetes-related care, and it may be premature to routinely screen for low health literacy as a means for improving diabetes- related health-related outcomes.Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Low health literacy is considered a potential barrier to improving health outcomes in people with diabetes and other chronic conditions, although the evidence has not been previously systematically reviewed.read more

TL;DR: A high score on the AECS indicates an ADE serious enough to prompt a patient to invest substantial efforts to cope with it, and can help clinicians better understand their patients' ADE-coping efforts.
Health Literacy: Improving Understanding of Discharge Instructions
TL;DR: This evidence-based practice project examined current discharge instructions given to general surgery patients and found the instructions to be written on an eleventh to twelfth grade level, incorporating health literacy into the education process to allow patients to better understand how to care for themselves at home once discharged.

Low Health Literacy and Health Outcomes: An Updated Systematic Review
TL;DR: Low health literacy was consistently associated with more hospitalizations; greater use of emergency care; lower receipt of mammography screening and influenza vaccine; poorer ability to demonstrate taking medications appropriately; poorer able to interpret labels and health messages; and, among elderly persons, poorer overall health status and higher mortality rates.

The evolving concept of health literacy.
TL;DR: The paper concludes that both conceptualizations are important and are helping to stimulate a more sophisticated understanding of the process of health communication in both clinical and community settings, as well as highlighting factors impacting on its effectiveness.
