Appraisal of Readability in Patient‐Facing Resources for the Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Implant

All surveyed websites provided information on the Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Implant at similar reading levels, although these reading levels were well above the recommended sixth-grade target recommended by the AMA and NIH. As Americans increasingly turn to the internet as a source of medical information, healthcare providers must ensure that patient-facing materials are accessible, comprehensible, and transparent.

Abstract

All surveyed websites provided information on the Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Implant at similar reading levels, although these reading levels were well above the recommended sixth-grade target recommended by the AMA and NIH. As Americans increasingly turn to the internet as a source of medical information, healthcare providers must ensure that patient-facing materials are accessible, comprehensible, and transparent.
