About

This series of videos describes how Children's Wisconsin helps people understand healthcare better, using videos to show challenges and solutions for improved health communication. The videos show various challenges, like when families face assumptions about their knowledge, the need for medical interpreters, using drawings for better understanding, involving families in decisions, dealing with conflicting information, filling out forms under stress, and understanding complex jargon or too much information. The focus is on simplifying communication to help everyone understand their health needs better.
