What precautions should a medical office have in place to help assist patients who require translators? How could this situation have been avoided?
What will be an ideal response?
The medical office should have some strategies in place to help assist with patients who require translators. The medical office should always have the telephone number of the translator scheduled to assist the patient. The office should have called the translator the day prior to the appointment to confirm a translator will be present with the patient. It is also a good idea for a medical office to have a list of available translators to call upon in the event one is needed at the last minute. The office should also have a list of emergency contacts for each patient in the medical record. The office staff or medical assistant could call emergency contacts to see if any of them speak English and are able to assist with the appointment.
