Language Access in Healthcare 8/14/04
August 14th, 2004
Language Access in Healthcare, sponsored by the North Carolina Association of CPAs (www.ncacpa.org), presented in Greensboro, NC at the Grandover Resort.
As our population becomes increasingly diversified, medical providers have a growing number of patients that do not speak English. This seminar provided an education on the legal requirements of supplying an interpreter, what constitutes an interpreter, and who pays for the interpreter. Participants learned whether they needed to have their forms in different languages, the risks of treating non-English speaking patients without an interpreter, and what the government’s position is on language access.
