Care Organizations:
The
Health Care professional is the crucial link between the patient and the
services offered by the Health Care facility.
The ability to communicate clearly under these conditions is
crucial. This scenario gains
even greater importance when the patient is an individual who is a
non-English speaking Hispanic patient.
Background:
There
are over 35 million Hispanics living in the US today.
Hispanics have become the largest minority.
Communication problems arise when non-English speaking Hispanic
patients attempt to
communicate with Health Care professionals.
