Identifying Dimensions of Organizational Health Literacy in Hospitals: A Scoping Review.
Review in Iranian journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Organizational health literacy (OHL) plays a crucial role in improving patients' understanding and engagement in hospital care. Despite its importance, little is known about the comprehensive dimensions of OHL from a managerial perspective. This study aimed to identify key dimensions that can influence OHL in hospital settings to enhance patient care. Methods: A scoping review was conducted to examine studies published from 2012-2024 regarding OHL in hospitals. Relevant studies were identified using a structured search strategy across multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Overall, 39 articles were selected after screening, and content analysis was performed using MAXQDA-10. The review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews. Results: The analysis identified six core dimensions of OHL: (i) leadership and management, (ii) policy and strategy formulation, (iii) human resources, (iv) organizational resources (including financial, physical, and informational), (v) processes, products, and services, and (vi) results. These dimensions were further categorized into 21 subcategories. Each dimension outlines essential components for improving hospital OHL, such as leadership support, staff training, communication strategies, and resource allocation. Additionally, the study highlights the role of technology, including electronic health literacy, in improving organizational performance. Conclusion: By addressing the key dimensions that influence organizational health literacy in hospitals, hospital administrators can enhance patient understanding of healthcare services, improve safety and satisfaction levels, and foster a culture of health literacy. The provided framework offers a valuable management approach for integrating OHL into hospital operations, potentially leading to more informed and health-literate patient communities.
