If we seek to improve health literacy by improving the communication and delivery of existing knowledge and resources about health, that by itself will not solve the core of the informational problem. It will merely be taking the existing information in the hub and finding a way to deliver it. We need an information upgrade to truly solve the informational problem. Therefore, it It is critical that our understanding of health literacy also includes the very quality of information that lives in the hub.
Health literacy includes understanding what health means to us, what healing is, how people heal, how we can heal, and more. It doesn't mean simply digesting the information given to us.
