Today's challenge
What gets in the way of interpretation in hospital medicine today
The unscheduled goals-of-care talk
A worsening patient's goals-of-care talk arrives hours after the booked interpreter's block.
The lost "only" on a fluid limit
A phone interpreter drops "only" from a heart failure patient's daily fluid allowance.
A teenager explains the transfer
A teenage granddaughter explains the skilled nursing transfer to her grandfather.
Cost of inaction
Language interpretation remains a gap in hospital medicine
49.1%
of adverse events for patients with LEP caused harm at six U.S. hospitals, versus 29.5% for English speakers.1
31% higher odds
Hospitalized adults with limited English more often died from sepsis at one academic center.2
"Getting by"
is a known cause of error per AHRQ, such as clinicians using Spanish with Portuguese speakers.3
