“I felt comfortable and confident in my ability to provide good clinical services thanks to the help of the interpreter. He helped with some pretty sensitive conversations that required extensive medical and legal vocabulary. The interpreter’s fluidity and exceptional skill allowed me to provide information to my patient safely.”
– Fraser Health
Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act protects limited-English proficient (LEP) patients from discrimination based on their national origin and mandates language access in healthcare. Section 1557 supports using qualified phone and video interpreters to help you deliver timely language access to your LEP patients. 
Whether you participate in Joint Commission surveys, DNV Healthcare Accreditation, or other certificate programs, CyraCom’s high-quality interpretation services can help you comply with language services standards. 
Phone interpretation connects you to a live interpreter quickly. It can take hours for an in-person interpreter to arrive from offsite. It can even take a while for a staff interpreter to finish another session and come to your aid. When it comes down to seconds, remote interpreters are a better option. 
On-site interpreters charge by the hour and usually require a minimum of two hours plus travel time. Remote interpretation cuts costs by only charging for the minutes that the patient and provider need. 
Your patients want to feel listened to, understood, and respected, regardless of their preferred language. Interpretation services help your staff communicate clearly and efficiently while improving understanding and satisfaction for limited-English proficient patients. 
Did you know limited-English proficient (LEP) patients have a greater chance of extended-stay hospitalizations, misdiagnosis, and grave medical errors? You can reduce readmissions and enhance patient safety with high-quality interpretation services.

Video adds an extra layer of human connection to remote interpretation. With video interpretation from CyraCom, your team can:
Extend your budget, while choosing how you access spoken language interpreters
CyraCom offers our video interpretation service for spoken languages at the same price as our phone interpretation or telehealth conferencing service, CyraCom Connect. Additionally, CyraCom’s video interpretation languages are highly available, so your staff can access interpreters using the mode that makes most sense for the situation without worrying about cost.
Provide better support to vulnerable patients
Video interpretation is recommended for patients who may struggle to recognize that a voice on the phone is their interpreter. Senior citizens, children, and patients with impaired cognitive ability, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, or behavioral health challenges, generally benefit from seeing their interpreter.
“I think one advantage video has over phones is the way kids interact with it. Most kids are used to iPads now, and as a result children are a little more comfortable working with remote interpreters.”
– UK HealthCare Pediatrics
Access certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters
CyraCom’s ASL interpreters are compliant with the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and maintain certification through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) or the Board for Evaluation of Interpreters (BEI).
“My interpreter was wonderful! He was patient and compassionate with my patient and other medical professionals throughout the three-hour video call. What’s more, he made sure the patient was comfortable by turning off his camera during examination.”
– Beaufort Memorial Hospital
Health systems and hospitals across the country have adopted telehealth solutions as an alternative to meeting patients in person.

CyraCom Connect works with over a dozen video communication platforms, meaning your staff won’t need to learn to navigate a new system. Look for your preferred teleconference platform below, and check out our video showing how easy it is to use our free-to-download CyraCom Interpreter App, found on Google Play and Apple.
Schedule more remote appointments with your LEP patients
Telehealth appointments can strengthen continuity of care, extend access outside of normal clinic hours, and ease the impact of clinician shortages in rural areas and among underserved populations.
Keep providers and patients safe from contagious diseases
Studies show that fewer in‐person patient visits to hospitals means less labor for the medical staff, less viral exposure for patients, and ultimately less disease spread.

When employees can’t speak the same language as the customer, providing fantastic customer service is nearly impossible. Language barriers hinder clear and effective communication, often leaving employees unable to resolve the customer’s problem. In addition, customers with unresolved issues most likely won’t purchase from your company again, and they may even tell their friends and family about their negative experiences. 
Partnering with a qualified language services provider can help you deliver exceptional multilingual customer service. Interpretation services improve customer satisfaction (CSAT), first-call resolution (FCR), average handling time (AHT), and overall quality. 
Interpretation services help you create a strong connection between your brand and your customers who speak languages other than English. With 25 million limited-English proficient (LEP) people in the US and billions of international prospects, language services can help you improve relationships with new and existing customers. 
If you measure success on speedy, affordable service, remote interpreters are a better option than utilizing bilingual employees or on-site interpreters. Remote interpretation services help your staff quickly connect to a qualified interpreter in seconds, and you’re only charged for the minutes you use. 
Did you know that high-performing organizations are 10 times more likely to make DEI an integral part of their business strategy? Your organization can provide a more equitable and inclusive work environment by using language services to increase employee engagement and satisfaction. For example, LEP employees can feel more confident and comfortable if they can communicate and understand performance reviews and other essential meetings with the help of a remote interpreter.

We had a ‘difficult’ caller who was intoxicated and not paying attention.

“It was a very long call, and the victim had a lot to say. The interpreter took notes, had great attention to detail, and clarified to make sure everyone understood correctly. Her ability to manage the call and explain technical processes was great. The call was kind of complicated, but she communicated steadily and was very thorough.”
