Step-by-step explanation

1. Health literacy skills allow patients to take control of their own well-being by making smart healthcare choices, improving their communication with doctors and giving them the information they need to advocate for themselves in a medical setting. In addition, without health literacy, patients can suffer real consequences. It is also important for everyone not only for patients but also fot regular people to be health literate in order to effectively communicate health concerns.

2. Remote analysis and monitoring services and electronic data storage significantly reduce healthcare service costs, saving money for you, your patients, and insurance companies. Telemedicine also reduces unnecessary non-urgent ER visits and eliminates transportation expenses for regular checkups. Both telemedicine and e-visits are essentially same for a patient in a way that their relatives from distant places can get in touch with them and also it is a way for the rest of the family to prevent from acquiring infections if the disease or illness of the patient is communicable and contagious.
