The Rauemi Atawhai (RA) Program, delivered at Counties Manukau Health by Health Literacy New Zealand (Limited), is a professional development program that aims to develop the capability in health care professionals to recognize and develop health literate, culturally competent health education resources and systems. Local evaluation of this program explored participant learning and barriers to becoming a health literate organization. We found that program participants consolidated their understanding or built a more comprehensive understanding of health literacy. Further, they gained new skills to assist them in developing future consumer resources. However, within the evaluation period, the RA Program had limited influence on the design and refinement of systems for developing, reviewing, disseminating, and evaluating consumer resources for their service, as well as approaches for engaging patients and family in design and review. Significant organizational action is needed to support these changes. Opportunities for leaders and managers to participate in capability building and discussions to create conditions (e.g., resource and authorization) for change in the environments in which staff work are needed.
