Medical Interpreting?
a service for people who speak little or no English, and their providers
Health Assist Tennessee has in-house medical interpreters who speak thirteen languages in addition to English. We provide interpreting in the following languages:
- Amharic
- Arabic
- Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian
- Burmese
- Dinka and other Sudanese dialects
- Farsi
- French
- Karen
- Kurdish
- Russian
- Somali
- Spanish
- Vietnamese
- If you are a provider, we can help you by interpreting at your clinic for non-English speaking patients.
- If you have a family member or friend who cannot speak English and needs an interpreter, please call us.
Having a trained medical interpreter leads to a better experience for the provider and patient. Patients better understand treatment options and families better understand at-home care. Providers report a more positive experience as well. With a medical interpreter, the client and provider are more likely to avoid:
- Misdiagnoses
- Delay in care
- Poor compliance with medication and treatment plans
- Unnecessary tests or procedures
- Increased risk of malpractice suits
