Every healthcare executive knows that absolute accuracy in translation work is an imperative: an inaccurate or careless translation of a medical document, such as a patient record, can have catastrophic consequences for the patient and severe legal implications for the provider.

Moreover, as the provision of healthcare services becomes ever more global and transnational, there is a corresponding growth in the need for accurate, precise, yet clear, translations. This implicates two stakeholder groups that are critical to your failure or success: limited-English-proficient (LEP) patients and LEP providers. With respect to LEP patients, it is the provider who, as a practical matter, bears the burden of ensuring the accurate and effective communication of medical information. Although the provider cannot determine in all instances the extent of each LEP patient's English proficiency, the provider will be held legally liable for any miscommunication. Hence, the procurement of accurate medical translations has now become an essential Risk Management Function.

The situation with LEP health care professionals is slightly attenuated, because they are more likely to have some medical training involving the English language. Yet, here too, your company cannot, as a practical matter, determine in all instances a given professional's degree of English comprehension. And so, again, the burden is on the provider to ensure that all communications reflect the correct terminology while at the same time are easy to understand.

In addition to the central importance of accuracy, precision, and user friendliness, you rightfully expect expeditious service and guaranteed confidentiality from your translation provider.
