Healthy People 2030 sketches a vision and standards to trail growth toward ensuring all individuals in the United States (US) achieve optimal health and well-being. This goal involves evidence-based interferences and strategies addressing economic, physical, and social environments (Pronk et al.,2020). Achieving health impartiality, removing differences, fostering health literacy, and enhancing environments is critical. Successful implementation requires interdisciplinary collaboration across sectors, user engagement, and practical resource use (Pronk et al.,2020).
Necessary implementation includes multiple approaches to challenge social, economic, and physical well-being determinants. They are making parallel best practices for health literacy with Healthy People 2030 goals to enhance patient health and education and foster complete well-being. Significantly, identifying shared data sources and indicators is essential for effectively measuring and evaluating trends in health and well-being (Jackson et al., 2020).
Conclusion
Health literacy is an appreciated asset capable of facilitating diverse health actions, enhancing well-being, and effectively managing health challenges. Its role in achieving health equity is crucial. Health literacy includes digital, functional, and interactive skills, enhancing patients’ ability to contact, understand, and use health data. It promotes informed decision-making, self-management, and overall well-being.
