NCIHC will host a series of regional language access workshops – “NCIHC On the Road” – throughout 2022-2023. These virtual events will join interpreters, advocates, patients, hospital administrators from risk management, compliance, and patient experience, and other stakeholders for learning and discussion around building infrastructure in areas where public investment and oversight in language access is critical.
Description:
The “NCIHC On the Road” national tour kick-off event will be a live webinar exploring legal and regulatory requirements around language access in healthcare, as well as implications for patient safety and care experience. Distinguished subject matter experts will present insights and guidance on what programs and services need to be in place in healthcare organizations large and small to provide meaningful access to linguistically diverse populations. The webinar recording will be made available free of charge to hospitals and to the public as part of an NCIHC resource kit for building language access infrastructure in healthcare organizations.
