abstract = "The WHO-Action Network on Measuring Population and
Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) initiated in 2022 in
cooperation with the Health Promoting Hospitals and Health
Literate Health Care Organizations working group a project with
two main tasks: (1) to translate, culturally adapt and pilot the
“International Self-Assessment Tool for Organizational Health
Literacy of Hospitals” in as many countries as possible, an
instrument which was developed by the “International Working
Group Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Literate Health
Care Organizations” in 2019, and (2) to develop a self-
assessment tool for organizational health literacy (OHL) in
primary health care services, building on existing tools and
thereafter translate it into further languages, culturally adapt,
and subsequently pilot it in different countries. Many countries
in the European region have joined the M-POHL OHL project. The
objective of the workshop is to inform on the above-mentioned
tools and the study protocol used and to present and discuss
national experiences regarding the process and results of
translation, cultural adaption, and piloting of the tools with a
focus on the feasibility and acceptability of the tools, on possible
improvements and suggestions to facilitate a broad uptake of the
tools in practice. Key message/Impact: The tools for assessing
OHL in hospitals and in primary health care services are designed
to support management and staff of hospitals and primary health
care services to consider, systematically assess, and improve the
health literacy responsiveness of their organization to better
serve their patients, their local population, and support to their
staff to integrate health literacy in their roles in the healthcare
system. The expected impact of the proposed session is to
increase the awareness of OHL and disseminate the respective
tools that facilitate the assessment of OHL. Workshop
participants can benefit from the experiences gained in the M-
POHL project.",
