The Healthcare Industry is coming under increasing pressure to provide more cost-effective translation and interpreting services for the Limited English Proficiency patients. As the regulations for insurance companies and healthcare providers are updated, all patient-facing materials need to be updated as well, and distributed to the patients in a language they can understand.
