HEALTH TiPS: What You Can Do
HEALTH TiPS are two sided 4"x 6" sheets that contain important information that patients need to know to manage their health.
HEALTH TiPS are developed at or below a fifth-grade reading level, in English and Spanish, and are designed specifically for the 90 million people who have difficulty understanding and acting on health information- nearly half of all American adults. The clinical content of HEALTH TiPS is evidence-based.
To date, approximately 28,000,000 sheets have been ordered by clinicians. The Foundation has been collecting physician feedback on the content and format of the HEALTH TiPS pads. Survey results have indicated a positive response from clinicians who have put the pads into practice.
- 96% of the respondents found HEALTH TiPS useful in improving communication with patients about their conditions
- 89% of the respondents indicated that they would personally be handing the HEALTH TiPS to their patients
- 81% of the respondents thought that HEALTH TiPS saved them time explaining health information to patients
In addition to the HEALTH TiPS pads, the ACP Foundation has developed electronic HEALTH TiPS (e-TiPS). The evidence-based patient information on the original HEALTH TiPS has been graphically enhanced and is available in color for downloading. |
