Abstract
The Institute of Medicine's landmark report, Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion, recommends that health professionals be trained to effectively communicate with patients with limited health literacy. Nurse-specific competencies that explicitly address the needs of patients with low health literacy are lacking. A national group of nurse health literacy experts (N = 41) participated in a three-round e-Delphi study to identify essential health literacy competencies for RNs in any work setting. Based on partial replication of prior work by Coleman, Hudson, and Maine, a final list of 50 nursing health literacy core competencies were identified in round two and prioritized in round three. The final list of prioritized competencies generated in this study have been provided as a starting point for health literacy education efforts in practice. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2016;47(12):558-565.
