PR.com)-- Best practices, tips booklet now available.
One of the most important issues facing healthcare today is the demand for health services from an increasing number of patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). Healthcare organizations must make certain that language barriers do not impact the quality of care provided to their LEP patients. viaLanguage, a leading language translation and localization agency, today announced the availability of Beyond Translation: localization best practices for the healthcare industry. The booklet is designed as an aid for busy healthcare professionals that are confronting translation and localization challenges and wondering how best to meet them.
viaLanguage understands the challenges faced by healthcare organizations. They work with healthcare organizations nationwide to not only translate written materials, but also ensure the information is localized or culturally-appropriate to the specific demographic. “Our goal is to improve access to healthcare through better communication and help healthcare organizations meet their language access goals more effectively,” said Chanin Ballance, CEO of viaLanguage. “By providing best practices, helpful tips and case study examples, we hope our booklet serves as a supportive tool that can be applied to meeting goals.”
