Health Care

ITI’s in-person interpreting service helps ensure that all people, no matter what their language or cultural background, get the health care that they need. As you can imagine, it is very important for a patient to be able to communicate to their doctor what their symptoms are, just as it is important for a doctor or nurse to understand what the patient is experiencing. Without interpreters, doctors and hospitals run the risk of misdiagnosing a patient’s symptoms and providing inappropriate or inadequate care. Not only could this have serious repercussions for the patient, but it also leaves both doctors and hospitals open to potential legal battles. ITI can help you solve this problem and bridge any language gap between doctors/nurses and their patients or their families. Our interpreters are available for scheduled appointments and on an emergency basis 24/7. So whether you need an interpreter to assist with a doctor/patient consultation, an emergency room assessment, a post-operative consultation, or to be present at ongoing physical therapy sessions, ITI can assist you. Our interpreters are well-trained professionals who are familiar with medical vocabulary, adhere to a Professional Code of Responsibility, and understand the absolute necessity of patient confidentiality.

ITI telephonic interpreting service is also available to hospitals. This service is particularly helpful in emergency or last minute situations where there is no time to schedule or wait for an in-person interpreter. This service is provided in over 150 languages and allows you and your limited English speaker to be connected over the phone to a well-trained interpreter in minutes. ITI’s professional translation services can also provide hospitals and medical clinics with accurate translations of: Emergency Outpatient Consultation Forms, Accident/Incident Reports, Nursing Staff Notes, Medical Progress Notes, Medical Orders, Coroner’s Reports, Death Certificates and Summaries of Physical Therapy and other Treatments and much more!
