As a clinician, clear communication with your patients is paramount to avoiding mistakes and quality of care.
When you encounter a patient unable to speak English, immediate access to a qualified interpreter
is critical. Any delay can potentially mean the difference between life and death. You depend on your
interpretation service department to be available when you need them.
But, for some quick, simple conversations, it may be inconvenient to call and wait for
interpreters to arrive. This inconvenience often needs to be weighed against the benefit of speaking with the patient.
What if there was a time-saving tool available now that can help you speak directly to your patients?
