It can be: an experience from your own institution your thoughts about an issue raised during a discussion your review of a resource or article mentioned by the group something else? look at the attached blogging guidelines for more ideas This is a great opportunity to share the wisdom of the CoPswith a wider audience, and a good way for you to reflect on some of the lessonsyou?ve learned or talked about in the group. Moderators are encouraged tocontribute too! The blog will be part of the revamped DiversityRx.org website, whichwill be launched in June. I've attached our blogging guidelines, and you'll see thatit's not really that intimidating or time-demanding. We'd like to get asubmission from each of you by June 15 (or earlier, if you want your posting tobe part of the launch).

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is proud to announce that the tool discussed, the Health Literacy Universal Precautions Toolkit, is now available. The toolkit is based on the principles of universal precautions, or specific actions that providers can take to make health information more understandable for all patients. It is designed to be used by all levels of staff in practices providing primary care for adults and/or pediatric patients. The toolkit includes: * A Quick Start Guide * The Path to Improvement, which outlines the six steps to fully implement the toolkit * Twenty short tools to identify and address areas that need improvement * Links to Internet resources * An appendix with resources to support implementation, such as sample forms, posters, PowerPoint presentations, and worksheets. The toolkit was developed for AHRQ by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. You can download a copy of the Health Literacy Universal Precautions Toolkit from: _http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/literacy/_ (http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/literacy/) and can access an online version at: _http://www.nchealthliteracy.org/toolkit_ (http://www.nchealthliteracy.org/toolkit) .
