    Language Barrier Case Study

    The pharmacist asked her to translate for the patient during the counseling session. I think the pharmacist did a very good job at trying to resolve the issue of the language barrier. I believe that cultural differences, like language, customs, beliefs, and social status should not prevent a healthcare professional from providing a good patient care. Therefore, it is very important for every health professional to be culturally competent, understand cultural differences, and know how to approach patients of a different ethnic, racial, religious, or social…

    Decades Of Life Stolen From Men Facing Death: Article Analysis

    In the article “Decades of Life Stolen from Men Facing Death” published in USA Today (Sept. 16, 2016) Richard Wolf and Kevin Johnson talk about the impact Capital Punishment has on those who are on death row. Authors R. Wolf and K. Johnson start by following the story of Anthony Ray Hinton who's been on Alabama’s death row for nearly 30 years until the court granted him a hearing, due to defense lawyer’s mistake back in his 1985 murder trial. Hinton had been charged with two murders, at the age of 29, to later have found no connection between the bullets from a gun found at Hinton’s mother’s home. Though, Hinton was freed, a year maybe two, before his execution he could as easily be innocently dead. Authors’ state, “Of all arguments against…

    Atul Gawande Heroism Of Incremental Care Analysis

    From the New Yorker article, The Heroism of Incremental Care, Atul Gawande depicted several strengths and weaknesses that General Physicians and Specialists have. Gawande also elaborated how the delivery of care between primary care physicians and specialists impact the entire health care system. But what really caught my attention was the incremental care that is being provided by primary care physicians to their patients. From what I understood, incremental care is a continuous, progressive treatment of the patient’s illness. Because having patients on maintenance medicine is no cure at all. That makes them, the people who are relying on maintenance medicine similar to disabled people, leaving them dependent on medicine. Just like in the…

    Some languages are rare, and the interpreting company contracted with the company may not have any one who can speak the language on the books. Or there may not be any interpreters specific to that language available. Some procedures and face-to-face, rather telephone interpreters. That could mean that the patient cannot be seen on that day, and other factors such as A/L professionals, may leave patients waiting weeks for much needed medical treatment.…

    Extract from Regeneration by Pat Barker

    The language the writer uses throughout most of the extract is simple and straight to the point and this adds a sense of seriousness in the mood of the passage. For example, when Sarah is walking out of the ward she knows there "must be other wards where the wounds were not so slight". The mood has changed already from that sense of joy to fear as we wonder what the writer means by this, further adding to our vulnerability to fear and panic. When Sarah suddenly gets lost in this world of rushing doctors and nurses, our…

    Erika, I also believe that mandatory classes should be require of all healthcare workers to acclimate them to the importance of and the resources available to properly communicate with non-English speaking patients. Healthcare providers that are aware of the availability of interpreter services, will utilize these services more often to break down communication barriers and provide cultural appropriate care to those that do not share the same language (McCarthy, Cassidy, Graham, & Tuohy, 2013, p. 339). This discussion post has informed me of the policies and resources available in my own organization and the importance of seeking this assistance early on with individuals who speak limited English or another language. Education and awareness…

    Essay On Patient Safety

    Patients can be harmed from health care, resulting in permanent injury, increased lengths of stay in hospital and even death. Over the past 15 years, adverse events occur not because people working in medical professions intentionally hurt patients, but rather due to the complexity of health-care systems, where treatment and care depend on many factors, in addition to the competence of health-care providers. When so many and varied types of health-care providers, such as dentists, dieticians, doctors, midwives, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, social workers, and others are involved, it can be difficult to ensure safe care, unless the system is designed to facilitate the delivery of quality and safe services. Patient Safety is defined as the reduction of risk of unnecessary harm associated with health care to an acceptable minimum (1).…

    Vulnerable Population

    Vulnerable populations include children, the elderly, the homeless, those with chronic health conditions, economically disadvantaged, the racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and refugees. Vulnerability may arise from community, individual or larger population challenges. Immigrants have been identified as a vulnerable population, but there is heterogeneity in the degree to which they are vulnerable to inadequate health care. Factors that affect immigrants’ vulnerability, including socioeconomic background; immigration status; limited English proficiency; federal, state, and local policies on access to publicly funded health care; residential location; and stigma and marginalization. Overall, immigrants have lower rates of health insurance, use less health care, and receive lower quality of care than U.S.-born populations; however, there are differences among subgroups. Policy options for addressing immigrants’ vulnerabilities. Limited English proficiency is also likely to affect the quality of care immigrants receive; for instance, immigrants with limited proficiency report lower satisfaction with care and lower understanding of their medical situation. Those who need an interpreter but do not receive one fare the worst, followed by those who receive an interpreter and those who have a language-concordant provider or speak English well enough to communicate with the provider. Immigrants’ vulnerability can also be influenced by whether an immigrant’s U.S. residence is in a traditional or new destination for immigrants. New destinations are less likely than established destinations to have well-developed safety nets, culturally competent providers, and immigrant advocacy or community-based organizations. Latinos in areas with relatively small Latino populations rely more on emergency departments (EDs) for their care than do Latinos in areas with relatively large Latino populations, and physicians in communities with small Latino…

However, it does not just call for the staff being able to understand the spoken language but also all literature will need to be in Vietnamese as well.
