Community and Patient Engagement Resources

What community and patient engagement resources are available?

We have developed many resources to help individuals better care for themselves and improve health literacy skills. When you share these resources with your patients, you are empowering them to communicate more effectively with you and to better engage in self-care. Read below to learn about our print resources and free online patient education modules.

  • To view our free digital patient education modules, click here. We hope you will share these broadly with your patients and community members.

How did UAMS CHL create these resources?

Just like with any new material we develop, the process to create these included:

  • Collaboration with subject matter experts to identify key messages and prioritize content.
  • Content drafting, user-centered design, and editing with the plain language writing expertise of our staff.
  • Field testing materials with patients or consumers.

Why should my organization use these resources?

Using these tools can help engage your patients and program participants in their own health by giving them needed communication skills. Using these tools can:

  • Improve patient experience, adherence to treatment plans, and health outcomes
  • Help meet metrics related to quality improvement programs
