ViTel Net & LSA Partner to Improve the Clinician-Patient Experience at Hospitals

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

McLean, VA – January 29, 2020 ­-

ViTel Net and Language Services Associates (LSA) are excited to announce a new platform integration that enables clinicians to immediately add an interpreter to a telehealth video encounter within the existing clinical workflow, regardless of physician or patient location – with just three clicks.

ViTel Net’s comprehensive and flexible telehealth platform enables health systems to securely deliver care at a distance to patients in any setting, using the health systems’ own workflows. Now, through an innovative partnership with Language Services Associates, those same workflows are vastly improved, when treating limited English proficient (LEP) and hearing-impaired patients.

This industry-first solution simplifies the clinician’s experience in accessing language interpretation services to clicking the video button and selecting a language. The LSA interpreter is immediately added to the video consult – it’s that simple. The interpreter and patient videos stream on the monitor, alongside the patient’s records, medical images, and clinician documentation. No more fumbling with iPads or phones to get everyone to see or hear one another.

The NIH reports an increasing LEP population, and removing the communication barrier with this patient segment results in:

  • Greater understanding of diagnosis, treatment, and medication instructions
  • Enhanced compliance with treatment and follow-up recommendations
  • Significantly decreased likelihood of a serious medical event and reduced medical costs
  • Greater patient satisfaction

“Connecting clinicians to interpreters is now fast and intuitive, thanks to our partnership with LSA and their advanced skills-based routing platform” stated Mark Noble, ViTel Net SVP.

“This innovative joint telehealth venture fills gaps in healthcare delivery, improves the clinician’s workflow, and supports healthcare compliance, while transforming the patient/clinician experience,” says Dennis Angeline, President and COO of LSA.

About ViTel Net

ViTel Net is a leading telehealth innovator, providing a configurable and interoperable enterprise platform and point-of-care modules for the entire telehealth continuum of care. Clinicians use our technology to access medical images, patient data and live video conferencing to remotely diagnose, treat, and manage patients.  www.vitelnet.com

Language Services Associates Aids Volunteer Interpreters in Houston Assisting Those Affected by Harvey

5 min read

HORSHAM, Pa.–Local interpreters in the Texas area have combined their efforts with interpreters throughout the country and surrounding borders to help local aid relief, government and emergency workers communicate with limited English speaking residents. Due to a need for a greater number of less common languages among Harvey victims, Language Services Associates, Inc. (LSA) has volunteered to assist.

Arturo Bobea, a Spanish medical interpreter residing in Pennsylvania who independently contracts with LSA, and who is volunteering his services in this catastrophic event reached out to LSA for help. “We have formed a group of volunteer interpreters that are assisting with the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. We’ve had an amazing response and volunteers are pouring in, but we seem to have difficulty finding qualified interpreters in languages of limited diffusion (languages that are not spoken widely). Would LSA be willing to help?”

Volunteer Language Interpretation (VLI), the name of the group of interpreters that Bobea refers to was initially started by Houston interpreter and locally known actress and activist, Angeles Romero. Romero began volunteering on her own in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, working with FEMA and the Red Cross. Realizing how great the need was, she then posted a call for help on social media and volunteers like Bobea answered the call, along with over 350 other interpreters in various languages.

Initially Bobea was only hoping that LSA would reach out to the interpreters in their network who might want to volunteer. Instead, LSA quickly provided a dedicated Toll-Free Number for VLI to call when they needed interpreters in languages that they themselves were not able to provide. LSA is providing access to telephone interpreting, free-of-charge, allowing the VLI group to continue their efforts in assisting Texas residents in communicating with people and groups, providing much needed aid in this crisis.

As the United States braces for hurricane Irma to hit, the services of both VLI and LSA will be needed more than ever.

About LSA
