The Aspen Center for Patient Education (ACPE) is dedicated to the development of low-literacy patient education materials in both English and Spanish. Health literacy represents a major challenge to health care professionals with nearly half of the U.S. population at or below the ninth grade level. More than 20% of the U.S. population cannot read materials at the fourth or fifth grade level.
JCAHO Patient and Family Education Standards specify that health care professionals consider their patient's literacy, education level, and language in providing health instruction. Working with a distinguished list of counsulting editors, ACPE editors create practical, hands-on patient education materials across the complete spectrum of health care at both the third and sisth grade reading level in both English and Spanish.
The new edition will continue to offer a comprehensive collection of patient education and reference material for practitioners who counsel patients and caregivers about pain management. The manual consists of at least 80% large-print, ready-to-use
