Protocol for all patients: "Interpreter Services for Non-English-
Speaking Patients" (See next slide)
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Center for Bioethics & Humanities (2013)
Patient: Did the hospital’s interpreters understand everything you said?
UT Medical Staff: Overall, how would you rate the hospital’s interpretation services?
-I believe UT Medical's interpretation services are better than a
Center previous hospital that I worked at. We have access to Cyracom, a phone
interpretation service that easy to locate and use.
Staff: Do you agree that a patient’s family member or friend can usually
interpret as effectively as a trained medical interpreter?
-No I do not believe that to be true.
-Cyracom is offered for all patients that might have a language barrier
