A Systematic Review of Health Literacy Interventions and Policies and the Effect on the Health Outcomes of Limited English Proficient (LEP) Patients

Description

Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients are subject to low patient health outcomes due to limited health literacy. Cultural and linguistic barriers prohibit the obtainment and comprehension of health information and services. This systematic review will present the complications of healthcare experienced by LEP patients and will provide an analysis of interventions and policies that will be a gateway to better health outcomes for the LEP patient population.
