No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare interpreter use rates before and after allowing non-English speaking families to call an interpreter themselves. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is it feasible for families to call an interpreter themselves? Will allowing families to call an interpreter themselves increase the rate of professional interpreter utilization?

Participants will be given an interpreting tablet and instructed to use the interpreter application whenever they would like to talk to the medical team. There will be a short survey on the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention for the patients and the medical team. The study team will then look at interpreter use rates before and after the intervention.
