11 Ways to Provide Linguistically Competent Patient Education

Looking for patient education information written in Spanish, Chinese, Farsi, Hmong or other languages spoken by the ethnic populations your health care facility serves? Krames-StayWell, a leading publisher of patient education and wellness materials, is adding two new linguistically competent services to its popular Krames On-Demand print-on-demand electronic patient education system.

The first, HealthCare Basics, provides information on common health issues in 11 languages, including--in addition to those listed above--Armenian, Khmer, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Russian. Topics covered include pre-natal care, preventing the spread of infectious diseases and managing chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. In addition, Krames On-Demand now offers 356 discharge instructions (previously available only in English and Spanish) in languages such as Chinese, Russian and Vietnamese.
