Abstract:: Background: The emergency department (ED) plays a critical role in the healthcare system. However, the increase in non-urgent visits can contribute to overcrowding negatively impacting patient outcomes, healthcare professionals and institutional costs. According to state-of-the-art literature, health literacy is correlated with preventable, non-urgent ED visits. With the growing use of technology and online health information, eHealth literacy has become increasingly important. The aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of eHealth literacy in emergency care.
