“…Consistent with other areas of healthcare 24,25 the terminology used in OHL has evolved over time. In 2010 the term 'healthliterate healthcare organisations' was used to describe the concept, 10 but over time it evolved into 'health-literate organisations' 28 and finally from 2014-2016 transformed into the term 'OHL' 12 . These terms appear to have evolved from each other and were initiated from the original paper by Brach et al 10 with a consistently similar definition and interpretation of these four terms across the years.…”

Organisational health literacy (OHL) is a relatively new concept and its role in improving population health outcomes is gaining recognition. There are several terms being used in relation to OHL but there is no consensus about the definition of OHL nor agreement on a single approach to its application within health services. This contested space continues to create discussion and debate between health literacy researchers worldwide. Increasingly, health service accreditation standards are moving towards including OHL and so services need to clearly define their roles and responsibilities in this area. Inherent in this is the need to develop and validate quantifiable measures of OHL change. This is not to say it needs a 'one-size-fits-all' approach but rather that terminology needs to be fit for purpose. This paper reviews the literature on OHL, describing and contrasting OHL terminology to assist practitioners seeking OHL information and health services clarifying their roles and responsibilities in this area.
