MONTEREY, CA – November 10, 2020 - LanguageLine Solutions, the global leader in on-demand language access, has announced an integration with Caregility, a clinical communications company that brings the access point of care closer to the patient.
The collaboration gives healthcare providers the ability to invite LanguageLine’s professional, medically trained interpreters into telehealth sessions within the Caregility UHE™ virtual care platform.
Through the Caregility platform, users can engage LanguageLine’s 13,000-plus professional, medically trained interpreters available in more than 240 languages. No complex integration steps are required.
By making world-class interpretation available on-demand 24 hours a day, Caregility’s integration with LanguageLine will improve communication with limited-English patients within the telehealth environment. The solution lowers the risk of misunderstanding, misdiagnoses, inadequately informed consent, and the inability to follow treatment plans, while increasing compliance, staff productivity, and most importantly, health outcomes and patient satisfaction.
“Telehealth barriers have kept vulnerable communities on the outside of the telehealth revolution,” LanguageLine President and CEO Scott W. Klein said. “Our integration with Caregility furthers our mission to provide excellent care to every individual, regardless of language, culture, or ability. This is more vital than ever as patients turn to telehealth solutions to meet their healthcare needs during the coronavirus pandemic.”
“LanguageLine is the established leader in language-access solutions,” Caregility President and COO Mike Brandofino said. “By integrating their services into our UHE telehealth platform, Caregility is able to offer a seamless user experience that does not disrupt existing clinician workflows. This marks our most recent effort to offer healthcare clients the most flexible telehealth platform on the market.”
