Description
Asian americans with LEP experience several barriers to healthcare access, resulting in poorer health outcomes. IT is therefore critical to identify and implement effective strategies for improving language utilization services and patient/provider communication for asian americans with LEP. Through health equity through access to language strategy (heals), the AHC will leverage on existing knowledge of barriers to language services among LEP asian americans and our partnerships with local organizations and health providers across chicago to: 1) increase the number of individuals with LEP who are aware of and understand their right to language access services (LAS) through culturally and relevant outreach efforts, 2) increase awareness and knowledge of the availability of training opportunities for bilingual/multilingual community members to obtain a medical interpreter certification 3) increased access and utilization of interpreter services that are culturally appropriate and 4) decrease miscommunication between LEP persons and the healthcare team through effective and current professional education on LAS.
