October is National Health Literacy Month!
Date: 09/16/24
National Health Literacy Month is important to Health Net. This year we are focusing on Digital Health Literacy.
What is Digital Health Literacy?
Digital health literacy or eHealth literacy, is defined as being able to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply the knowledge gained to addressing or solving a health problem. By improving your digital health literacy, you will be able to learn how to access online health information or set up virtual doctor's appointment.
This year, we are doing this by sharing more about digital health resources such as:
- Finding health information online.
- Helping members learn more about telehealth services (Teladoc Health).*
- Using health education programs through easy to scan QR codes and clickable URL links.
