Protecting Patient Safety
Medical professionals are entrusted with the care and well-being of their patients, but communication barriers can hinder that care. Inaccurate communication due to language barriers can lead to misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, and serious health consequences. Certified and qualified interpreters bridge that gap so providers can deliver safe, informed care.
Meeting the Needs of Diverse Communities
Nearly 25 million people in the United States have limited English proficiency—about 8% of the population. In Oregon, more than 300,000 residents speak a language other than English at home. Ensuring access to certified and qualified interpreters is essential for providers who want to communicate effectively with every patient they serve.
Delivering Better Health Outcomes
Studies show that patients who work with Certified & Qualified Interpreters are more likely to follow through on recommended care, less likely to experience 30-day hospital readmissions, and more satisfied with their experience. Accurate, culturally responsive interpretation empowers patients to participate fully in their care plans.
