Patients Cannot Understand Their Own Prescriptions and Lab Reports Without Medical Training
Medical documents use clinical terminology that most patients cannot interpret without specialized training, creating a comprehension gap between providers and the people receiving care. Patients who cannot understand their prescriptions or lab results are more likely to miss dosing instructions, ignore important findings, or make uninformed decisions about follow-up care. The gap is especially acute for older adults, non-native speakers, and patients managing chronic conditions with frequent lab monitoring.
