Category Band Timeline This timeline was quickly thrown together to demonstrate Tiki-Toki's new Category Band view. The Category Band view allows you to in effect create multiple timelines within one timeline. Each category that you add to the timeline creates a colored horizontal band. These bands are then populated with stories (or events) of the corresponding category. To use the Category Band view, go to the 'Settings' tab for your timeline and then click on the View type drop down menu and choose 'Category Bands'. Given the available space, we recommend that you limit the number of categories you create to a maximum of five. The Banded Category view works very well with another new feature we've recently added to Tiki-Toki: equal spacing modes. The solution is to use one of our two equal spacing modes. We hope you have fun with these two new features.

Education : Symposia Development Guidelines Symposia Development Guidelines A symposium is defined as a learning opportunity organized for the purpose of providing a forum for discussion of a well-defined topic. For example, research might be a theme of a conference but qualitative research for medical librarians could be the well-defined topic for a symposium. A symposium ideally provides an environment for the free exchange of ideas that goes beyond the normal Question and Answer session after a presentation. Typically, a symposium consists of a series of presentations contributed by experts in the defined subject area of the symposium topic, followed by an interchange of opinions among symposium participants. Active participation of the attendees is built into the symposium schedule. Conference/Annual Meeting Conferences and annual meetings of organizations are usually organized with a central theme and may include speakers, contributed papers, posters, roundtables, and other sessions.

Program for Readability In Science &amp; Medicine (PRISM) | Group Health Research Institute Program for Readability In Science & Medicine (PRISM) is a Group Health Research Institute initiative to improve the readability of consent forms and other print materials for health care research study participants. PRISM began in 2005 as a short-term, internal training initiative called the “Project to Review and Improve Study Materials.” It has since evolved into a suite of plain language resources tailored for the research community. Inspired by health literacy concerns in the research environment, PRISM’s goal is to bring readability awareness and plain language training and tools to researchers nationwide. For both compliance and safety reasons, research teams should strive to ensure that all print materials used in communication with study participants are as easy to read as possible. PRISM promotes health literacy, plain language, and readability at GHRI by providing editing and training services. Download the PRISM Readability Toolkit (PDF, 888 KB). Additional resources:

Health Literacy Fact Sheets « Health Literacy Nearly 36 percent of adults in the U.S. have low health literacy, with disproportionate rates found among lower-income Americans eligible for Medicaid.1 Individuals with low health literacy experience greater health care use and costs compared to those with proficient health literacy. Through all its impacts -- medical errors, increased illness and disability, loss of wages, and compromised public health -- low health literacy is estimated to cost the U.S. economy up to $236 billion every year.2 This series of fact sheets was created to help clinicians, patient advocates, and other stakeholders improve care for individuals with low health literacy. The fact sheets define health literacy; describe ways to identify low health literacy; provide strategies to improve print and oral communication for low-literate consumers; provide information about the intersection of health literacy and culture; and highlight key policies relating to health literacy.

Clear &amp; Simple Many American Adults Lack Literacy Skills According to the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey, some 90 million American adults-- about 47 percent of the U.S. population-- demonstrate low levels of literacy. These individuals lack the literacy skills to function adequately in our increasingly complex society. Federal agencies often rely on print materials to tell people about health information and social services. A workgroup composed of Government communicators from diverse Department of Health and Human Services' agencies met to address the disparity between the reading level of available print materials and the reading ability of many Americans. About Clear and Simple This guide outlines a process for developing publications for people with limited-literacy skills. A review of existing examples and discussions with experienced writers makes it clear that the low-literacy field is an evolving discipline. Guidelines The five standard steps in developing print materials are: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Health Literacy Innovations - Understanding Health Literacy Understanding Health Literacy What is Health Literacy? This Fact Sheet is used with the permission of the Center for Health Care Strategies, Inc. All CHCS Health Literacy Fact Sheets are available in pdf form at www.chcs.org . Health literacy is the ability to read, understand, and act on health care information. Healthy People 2010 defines health literacy as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions." 1 The AMA Council of Scientific Affairs more specifically defines functional health literacy as "the ability to read and comprehend prescription bottles, appointment slips, and the other essential health related materials required to successfully function as a patient." 2 A study of 483 asthma patients found that although two-thirds reported graduating from high school, only 60% could read above the sixth-grade level. Incur higher health care costs. References

Health Information Literacy - Medical Library Association The popular media and professional journals alike are increasingly carrying reports and studies of the difficulties and frustrations health professionals and patients face in coping with the barrage of available information in a way that results in informed health care decisions. There is a huge need to bring sense to the information universe if MLA's vision of "quality information for improved health" is to be achieved. There is at the same time a significant gap in the awareness by the public and by opinion-leaders and decision-makers of the contributions that health sciences librarians can make (and are making) to bring order to the chaos.

Health Literacy: Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) Our Mission The Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) is a nonprofit health policy resource center dedicated to improving health care access and quality. We work with state and federal agencies, health plans, providers, and consumer groups to develop innovative programs that better serve low-income Americans, especially those with complex and high-cost health care needs. Our Priorities Enhancing access to coverage and services. Under health reform, Medicaid is poised to become the nation's largest health care purchaser. Advancing quality and efficiency through delivery system reform. Medicaid currently serves over 65 million individuals and in 2014 will cover up to one quarter of all Americans. Integrating care for people with complex needs. Children and adults with complex needs account for a substantial portion of Medicaid spending. Building Medicaid leadership and capacity. Medicaid plays a critical role in the nation's health system. Our Approach
