Abstract: To provide effective healthcare services, health providers must be aware that consumers of healthcare with limited health literacy have low eHealth literacy. Such individuals have a limited ability to seek, find, understand, evaluate, and use knowledge obtained from electronic sources to address or solve health care problems. As more health information and services move online, Web developers and professionals must find new ways to communicate health information effectively to the healthcare consumer. Two decades of research indicate that today's health information is presented in a way that isn't usable by most Americans (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010).
