"Although it is tempting to address the issue of low literacy in patient by simplifying written materials, only so much simplification can be done without losing meaning. To avoid this problem, organizations may want to consider using computer-based materials. These materials, specifically those shown on a multimedia computer, can help successfully deliver health education to low literacy patients. A multimedia tutorial allows an organization to use audio, animation, video and interactivity to communicate necessary information to the patient."
(From "The Joint Commission Guide to Patient and Family Education", Joint Commission Resources, p. 23)
