With increasingly diverse populations, healthcare organizations are struggling to accommodate the needs of non-English speaking and deaf or hard of hearing patients.
Video interpretation allows patients and medical personnel to communicate accurately, quickly and exactly when they are needed. Visual contact with an interpreter ensures comprehension and eliminates the ambiguity often associated with a voice-only interpretation. Deaf and hard of hearing patients can have instant access to sign language interpretation without the cost of an on-site interpreter.
With TANDBERG, video interpretation is easy, natural communication. TANDBERG's high definition capabilities provide precision facial, lip and hand movements. Patients can better explain with actions in addition to words what they are feeling, and interpreters are able to visually determine whether the patient truly understands.
