Σύνοψη	Health literacy scales are validated self-report instruments designed to measure the capacity of individuals to access, understand, appraise, and communicate health information to maintain or improve health. The Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) and Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA) are commonly used variants assessing functional health literacy in clinical populations. Health literacy measurement identifies patients at risk for poor health outcomes and guides communication simplification.	The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) is a family of evidence-based surveys developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) beginning in 1995. It systematically measures patient experiences across diverse healthcare settings including hospitals, ambulatory clinics, and home health agencies, capturing dimensions critical to care quality from the patient perspective.
