Training In The Use Of Interpretive Services For Patients With Limited English Proficiency, Kristina Wooten
Training In The Use Of Interpretive Services For Patients With Limited English Proficiency, Kristina Wooten
Symposium of Student Scholars
In clinical settings, there is a disconnect between health care professionals (HCPs) and patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). HCPs rely on ad hoc interpreters to communicate with patients with LEP (e.g. nurses using untrained friends and family or nursing students to interpret care information). Refusing to use or misusing professional interpreters and other interpretive services may lead patients with LEP to avoid seeking necessary care, misunderstand their diagnoses and treatment regimens, and fail to return for follow-up care. This increases the already existing health care disparity between patients who speak English and patients with LEP. Studies show that if …
