Sponsor's own description
Patients and families with limited English proficiency (LEP) and/or who use a language other than English for medical care (LOE) experience substantial barriers to communication in the healthcare setting, leading to medical care that is less safe, less efficient, less effective, and inequitable. Professional interpreter use has repeatedly been shown to improve outcomes and reduce disparities, yet it remains widely underused. This study will test two discrete, scalable implementation strategies for improving professional interpreter use in primary care, while collecting detailed information about mechanisms of action and costs that will be applicable to many sites of care and contribute meaningfully to the goal of reducing communication-based disparities. The investigators hypothesize that improving provider knowledge, confidence, and interpreter access will change behavior under real-world conditions.
