From
insurance forms to prescription instructions, healthcare patients and
workers have a large array of literature and forms that they must deal
with everyday. Determining whether these documents are too difficult
for your patients to read is vital. Readability Studio offers the
analytical tools to discover the reading levels of your patient
materials, as well as providing features to assist with improving your
document to meet your target audience. Readability Studio includes many
of the tests commonly used by the healthcare industry, such as:
