Access to qualified interpreters is essential for patient safety, quality and equitable care. When language needs are not documented and addressed promptly, patients face increased risks of miscommunication, medical errors and delayed treatment.
Join WSHA’s Sept. 30 webinar from 11 a.m.-noon to learn practical strategies for documenting, monitoring and strengthening language access across the care continuum. This webinar features the Virginia Mason Franciscan Health team.
Without tracking language access data, hospitals may also miss critical opportunities to identify gaps, measure performance, and improve services. This webinar will highlight actionable approaches to advancing language access across the care continuum while supporting alignment with the Medicaid Quality Incentive (MQI) Health Equity 2026 measure.
