Medical interpretation services prevent misdiagnosis, medication errors, and potential malpractice situations that arise from language barriers. With precise translation of medical terminology, patients receive appropriate care based on correctly understood symptoms and medical histories.
The company delivers services through three distinct methods: onsite interpretation for face-to-face interactions where nuanced communication is critical; over-the-phone interpretation for remote locations or urgent situations; and video remote interpretation via their Kirii™ system, which provides virtual interpreter services instantly through mobile devices or computers. The Kirii™ platform features secure connections and specialized medical interpretation protocols designed specifically for healthcare settings.
Gateway Languages serves a diverse clientele, including private hospitals, outpatient clinics, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, biotech firms, and medical research organizations. Their certified interpreters possess specialized medical knowledge necessary for accurate transmission of complex healthcare information between providers and patients.
"In an industry where one mistranslated word can mean the difference between life and death, precise communication is essential," said a representative from Gateway Languages. "Our expanded language services support healthcare providers in meeting both patient needs and regulatory requirements while reducing liability risks."
Medical interpretation services not only improve patient care but also satisfy requirements under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and ACA Section 1557, which mandate meaningful access for individuals with limited English proficiency. Healthcare organizations that fail to provide adequate interpretation services may face compliance issues and increased liability exposure.
The expanded language services come at a time when healthcare organizations are increasingly focused on improving patient experience and outcomes through better communication. Research consistently shows that patients who receive information in their primary language demonstrate better treatment adherence and report higher satisfaction with their care.
