Jessenia added these 3 questions to ponder while reading the article:
- What are some strategies we can implement in our practice here at Phelps to mitigate some of the language barriers with our Hispanic community?
- How comfortable do you feel using professional interpreter services in your everyday practice? Is that a barrier that impedes you from using the available services?
- The article states that one of the critical times to use professional interpreter services is during discharge. Do you agree? How can we effectively use this service to reduce readmissions?
