Why Quality Medical Interpretation Services Matter
The United States is one of the most linguistically diverse nations in the world. It’s estimated that there are between 350 to 430 spoken languages in the country.
In the United States, research estimates that 25.7 million people have limited English proficiency.
Effective communication in medical settings is vital. Research shows that people who are at higher risk of miscommunication are also more likely to experience medical errors.
Enhance Language Support and Boost Patient Access
97% of physicians reported treating at least some patients who have difficulty understanding English.
In medical emergencies or routine care, clear communication is a must for achieving great patient outcomes and provider satisfaction. Plus, in most countries, language support is a civil right mandated by law. With those facts in mind, Boostlingo has built medical interpretation options for your team
Engage with Remote Medical Interpreters for better patient outcomes
VRI support helps healthcare providers get connected to remote medical interpreters when onsite interpretation services may not be the most efficient or affordable option.
Boostlingo’s advanced VRI system seamlessly connects Limited English Proficiency Patients with remote medical interpreters quickly and securely. Access to professionally qualified medical interpreters improves the patient experience and helps with quality control.
Boostlingo VRI sessions can dramatically reduce costs by shortening interpretation durations with effective communication that is contextually very similar to onsite support while also eliminating wait times and potentially high travel expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs on our Medical Interpretation services
What is medical interpretation? What do medical interpreters do differently from other interpreters?
Medical interpretation is a specialized language service that focuses on facilitating communication between healthcare providers and patients who do not speak the same language. Medical interpreters are highly proficient in the languages they speak and have acquired extensive training to navigate effectively through healthcare settings.
Compared to other interpreters, medical interpreters have a strong understanding of medical terminologies and processes. As doctors and patients interact, they play a vital role by allowing them to accurately exchange sensitive information such as medical history, treatment options, and more.
This in turn supports both parties, leading to better decision making and improved patient outcomes.
What is the difference between a medical interpreter and a medical translator? Aren’t they the same?
Medical interpreters work in spoken or sign languages and serve as facilitators between doctors and patients in real time. Medical translators are different because their primary focus is to translate written medical documents from one language to another.
While the two occupations are related, a medical interpreter is not the same as a medical translator. Translation and interpreting are distinct, thought related professions. Both occupations have their own training requirements and certifications. Medical interpreters and translators have acquired additional training by specializing in the medical setting.
How are medical interpretation services delivered?
Generally speaking, interpretation services (whether medically related or not) can be provided either on-site or remotely. An interpreter may be physically present during a medical consultation or emergency to support doctors in administering treatment. Conversely, language support can also be done remotely either through Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI) or Video Remote Interpretation (VRI).
Are medical centers required to provide medical interpretation?
In the case of the United States, laws such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act have been passed to ensure that healthcare is accessible to every person regardless of their proficiency in English.
In addition to the legal requirements to provide language access, the positive impact of healthcare interpretation services on patient care outcomes can not be overlooked. This is especially true for healthcare centers located in areas with a culturally diverse population.
Does Boostlingo integrate with electronic health record systems and other healthcare tools?
Boostlingo’s interpretation management system is designed to integrate with electronic health record (EHR) systems and other healthcare tools. This integration allows healthcare providers to communicate more effectively with patients who speak different languages, ensuring better patient care.
Boostlingo can also work with telemedicine platforms and practice management systems, making it a valuable resource for healthcare organizations looking to improve language interpretation services for their patients.
