Inpatient communication barriers and drivers when caring for limited english proficiency children.
The authors identified barriers to and drivers of effective interpreter service use when caring for hospitalized limited English proficiency (LEP) children from the perspectives of pediatric medical providers and interpreters. Using Group Level Assessment, they found that participants identified unique barriers and drivers that impact communication with LEP patients and their families during hospitalization. They suggested that future directions include exploring the perspective of LEP families and utilizing team-based and family-centered communication strategies to standardize and improve communication practices.
