The outputs, or products in the Health Literacy Logic Model reflect the outgrowth of the multilevel intervention strategies. The hallmark of the logic model was the creation of a Health Literacy Center of Excellence, guided by an independent coordinating council. The coordinating council, adhering to the principles of community empowerment in health planning, conducted focus group sessions with employees at 54 Missouri non-profit organizations in 14 Missouri counties from 2007- 2008. These grass roots individuals defined health literacy as: understanding basic health concepts; understanding, finding, and using health information provided inside and outside of healthcare; navigating the healthcare system; and patients taking responsibility for their own health.
