AHRQ also supported a paper commissioned by National Academy of Medicine’s Roundtable on Health Literacy, “Primary Care Implementation of After-Visit Summaries for Patients with Limited Health Literacy.” Author Courtney Lyles and colleagues conducted a review of the literature and conducted in-depth interviews of medical and quality directors at a variety of primary care sites. The resulting paper chronicles reports of the best and worst AVS features  and shares ideas for improving AVS implementation and use in primary care.
