Using the Talking Touchscreen 

  • Use of Assessment Center for Health LiTT will enable administration of Health LiTT on the same touchscreen used for other patient-reported outcomes, thus providing a feasible way to assess patients’ literacy in clinical practice and research.  
  •  Assessment Center is unique in online survey administration tools as it enables the administration of computerized adaptive tests (CATs). It also enables easy access to PROMIS instruments including CATs, short forms, and profiles. It allows secure collection of protected health information as well.
