Abstract
There is a growing need for a system change towards more patient-centred and health literate healthcare systems. One valuable approach for change on the system-level is the redesign of health organizations to health literate healthcare organizations (HLHO). This process requires sufficient efforts in teamwork, committed leadership and outcome monitoring. Nurses could make major contributions to the overall system change by integrating their expertise in the redesign of health care organizations in health literate ones.
