Karen Komondor Expands Health Literacy 360, LLC to Address Healthcare Workforce Challenges
Health Literacy 360, LLC, founded by Karen Komondor, expands its focus to support healthcare professionals facing growing communication and workforce challenges.
United States, 15th Feb 2025 – Karen Komondor, founder and president of Health Literacy 360, LLC, has announced an expanded focus to support healthcare professionals struggling with increasing demands, burnout, and communication challenges. As hospitals and healthcare organizations face ongoing workforce shortages, the need for clear and effective communication has become more critical than ever.
Health Literacy 360, LLC is launching new training and consulting services designed to equip healthcare teams with strategies that improve efficiency, reduce stress, and enhance patient interactions. By strengthening communication skills, the initiative aims to alleviate the strain on professionals while simultaneously improving patient outcomes.
The Link Between Communication and Healthcare Workforce Burnout
The growing burden on healthcare professionals is not just a result of staffing shortages—it is also tied to communication breakdowns that lead to inefficiencies, errors, and frustration. When providers struggle to explain medical information in a way that patients understand, they spend more time repeating instructions, handling preventable complications, and dealing with miscommunication-related setbacks.
Studies have shown that poor health literacy among patients increases hospital readmissions, lengthens hospital stays, and contributes to staff burnout. By focusing on health literacy as a workforce strategy, Health Literacy 360, LLC is providing solutions that reduce unnecessary workload and create a more streamlined, effective care environment.
Training Designed to Support Healthcare Professionals
The expansion of Health Literacy 360, LLC includes specialized programs aimed at helping healthcare teams communicate more efficiently while maintaining compassionate, patient-centered care. These programs include:
- Techniques for simplifying complex medical information
- Strategies for reducing patient misunderstandings and compliance issues
- Communication approaches that save time and improve provider-patient relationships
- Organizational strategies for reducing administrative burdens related to patient education
By implementing these evidence-based practices, healthcare organizations can help their workforce manage time more effectively and reduce the stress associated with patient confusion and non-compliance.
A Nationwide Effort to Improve Healthcare Work Environments
Karen Komondor has been a leader in health literacy and patient advocacy for nearly two decades. Her work in the field has shown that improved communication not only benefits patients but also improves the work experience for providers.
Komondor currently serves as:
- President of the U.S. Health Literacy Association
- Chair of the National Council to Improve Patient Safety Through Health Literacy
- Co-founder and past president of Ohio Health Literacy Partners
Her national leadership has helped shape policies and best practices that support both patients and healthcare professionals. The expansion of Health Literacy 360, LLC reflects her continued commitment to improving the healthcare system through better communication.
