TAILIEUCHUNG - Plain Language Thesaurus For Health Communications

The Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) uses various types of quality measures. The HEDIS clinical performance measures are based on information such as members’ medical records. These measures help to compare how well plans prevent and treat illness. For example, one HEDIS measure looks at how many adult smokers or recent quitters were advised to quit by a health professional in the plan. Another looks at whether two-year- olds are up to date on recommended shots. Some other HEDIS measures look at breast cancer screening, prenatal care, and at eye exams to prevent blindness in people with diabetes.

Plain Language Thesaurus For Health Communications This Plain Language Thesaurus has been put together by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Center for Health Marketing. Our aim is to help make health information clear and easy to understand. This thesaurus offers plain language equivalents to medical terms phrases and references that we often use. The technical terms found in health information can be confusing. This thesaurus is a tool to help you find words that people may understand better. While the plain language choices given here may not have the specific nuances of meaning that technical terms have they offer the possibility for better understanding by your audience. With plain language equivalents it is more important to be understood than to be medically precise. Precise medical terminology is vital when communicating to those with a technical background. But the public often stumbles over such terms and misunderstands their meaning. This is especially a concern for people who do not speak English as their first language and those without strong reading skills. Reaching your audience-on their terms-is the main goal of plain language. This is a living document. It is intended to be refined and to grow as more health communicators and experts add words topics health conditions and synonyms. We have started the process of building this tool by defining the scope format and broad categories of terms to be included. Excellent existing resources and glossaries from CDC HHS and universities were reviewed for terms and subject areas. Key sources included glossary CDC Community Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Mitigation glossary National Immunization Program Glossary http vaccines about terms Simple Words and Phrases thesaurus at Clear
