Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To comply with federal guidelines, your ED must provide language assistance to non-English-speaking patients. Don't use family members as interpreters. Use a closed-circuit TV with a live interpreter or use the services of a telephone translation service. Offer incentives for multilingual staff, and provide tuition reimbursement for language classes. |
