The Plain Writing Act of 2010 is the latest government effort to make complicated regulations easier to read and understand. "Plain language" refers to a method of authoring documentation in a straightforward, sensible, engaging and culturally appropriate manner. It makes the complicated easier to grasp. It tells readers what they need to know and nothing else. When done correctly, it ensures understanding and compliance and improves patient safety – and now it's the law! What plain language is not, is the "dumbing down" of information.
Authoring your documentation using plain language can result in a savings of both time and money by reducing mistakes and misunderstandings. However, successful implementation requires buy-in on an organization-wide level, and there can be some resistance to change. This audio conference presentation is designed to provide attendees with an understanding of what plain language is, how and why to start using it, and what the Plain Writing Act of 2010 means for your company. It also provides regulatory writers with the compelling information they need to convince managers that plain language authoring is a valid and necessary development in health care.
