The Importance of Professional Translation Services in Healthcare

Healthcare translation requires more than just language skills. The combination of medical terminology, cultural awareness, and the ability to accurately convey complex information can create the translated document you need for quality healthcare.

At JR Language, we follow best practices in healthcare translation to ensure our clients get the best service and comply with healthcare regulations. We prioritize cultural sensitivity in our translation services to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and patients from diverse backgrounds.

Benefits of Professional Healthcare Translation Services

Language gaps in healthcare can have dire consequences. When patients and healthcare providers don’t speak the same language, the risk of miscommunication is high, which can lead to wrong diagnoses, wrong treatments, and ultimately poorer health outcomes.

Our aim through healthcare translation is to eradicate any challenges. We want patients, providers, carers, and everyone involved to be able to talk to each other freely and confidently, knowing their message will get across accurately and in context. This way, patients get the care they need, providers can provide better care, and they can comply with government regulations.

Healthcare Professionals Must Legally Provide Language Services

Healthcare providers in the United States must provide language services to patients with limited English proficiency. Title IV of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin by organizations that receive federal funding. Discrimination includes failure to provide the patient with necessary documents in their primary language or a language they understand.

Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is also essential as it sets strict guidelines for the confidentiality of patient data shared by service providers.

Why Patients Require Healthcare Language Services

Language barriers in healthcare slow things down and are dangerous. Communication barriers in healthcare lead to miscommunications that can manifest in these ways:

Performing the wrong procedures
Using the wrong treatment methods
Engaging with the wrong providers
Issuing the wrong diagnoses
Prescribing the wrong medication
Delays and lost time
Increased workload
Financial strain

The Role of Medical Translators in Healthcare Organizations

Document translation services in healthcare mean more than just changing one language to another. Medical translators must understand the complex world of medical terminology, where there is no room for error. They must also be able to translate medical terminology into layman’s terms so patients are well-informed. Healthcare translation also requires it to be done through a cultural lens so everyone is respected and the translated output is even clearer to those reading or hearing it.

We use medical professionals who know medicine and people. It’s not enough for someone to be fluent in both the source and target languages – the translator must have a deep understanding of healthcare, science, medicine, and everything related to medical translation.
