Summary
This study focuses on helping patients with low health literacy—those who struggle to understand medical information—recover better after surgery. Researchers will test a program called VISACT that uses visual aids, coaches providers in clear communication, and trains hospitals to be more health-literate. The goal is to see if this approach improves how well patients follow recovery plans and reduces complications. About 1,050 adults having surgery will take part.
