Health Technology Literacy: A Transdisciplinary Framework For Consumer-Oriented Practice by Maryalice Jordan-Marsh

Health Technology Literacy: A Transdisciplinary Framework for Consumer-Oriented Practice examines the wide range of resources used by health consumers to inform and support their decisions around their own health care.

Using evidence-based practice and relevant theories, this unique text analyzes the trend for health care systems to be reactive, while consumers are proactively seeking the health care information they feel they deserve.
