Medical Interpretation Services
Whether you are a health care provider or a patient, accurate and effective two-way communication of personal medical information is vital.
For patients who do not have a good grasp of the English language, an medical interpreter from Interpretation Solutions (I.S.) can help relay critical patient information such as family and personal medical history, symptoms, allergies, reactions to drugs or treatment, and health concerns to the doctor. Medical Interpretation Services with the help of doctor or health care can provide rest assured that the patient properly understands his/her medical condition, tests to be administered and their results, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options and associated risks, treatment arrangements, schedules, after treatment care, or lifestyle changes required.
If you are a health care provider involved in public health education, you want to make sure that your messages get across to your audience, including those who have a very limited understanding of the English language. Through the use of medical interpreters, you can reach out to a broad base of cultural groups in the community.
I.S. interpreters can assist in the following contexts:
- On-site interpretation for personal medical appointments and consultations. (at hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, nursing homes, long term care facilities, or even for doctor's calls at patients' homes)
- On-site interpretation for patient case review. (with group of health care providers, patient and patient's family)
- On-site interpretation for public health educational workshops, seminars or classes.
- Over-the-phone interpretation for medical related calls between a patient and the health care provider.
The interpreters that we select for medical assignments are all trained in commonly used medical terminology.
We understand that personal medical information is private and confidential. All our medical interpreters sign confidentiality agreements, on top of abiding by professional code of ethics which safeguards the privacy and confidentiality of client information.
