--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ISI Translation Services:
|
WHY: |
The convergence of looming deadlines dictated by the new federal healthcare legislation and the cultural insights offered by the 2010 Census data create a need and an opportunity for healthcare providers to be prepared for new language requirements. The two biggest changes for healthcare companies are: |
||||||
|
• |
An increase in the amount of information that must be translated; and | ||||||
|
• |
A potential increase in the number of different languages they’ll need to accommodate. | ||||||
| By July 1, 2011, all healthcare providers must tell their customers that there are changes taking place and make the offer to translate information about such changes into the customer’s primary language. Then, they must be prepared to deliver. | |||||||
|
WHAT: |
Michael Bearden, language specialist and VP of Client Relations for ISI Translation Services (www.ISITrans.com), is available immediately to offer tips on how healthcare companies can prepare for this potential onslaught of translation requests: |
||||||
|
• |
How to assess current translation activities to anticipate increased needs. | ||||||
|
• |
How to anticipate what new languages might be requested from a customer base, consulting the latest Census data. | ||||||
|
• |
Tips on writing materials that are destined for translation – steps to take when drafting the original material to make the translation process more successful (read: easier, faster, less costly and more accurate). | ||||||
|
WHEN: |
Michael Bearden is available immediately to discuss these issues in more detail. | ||||||
