Abstract
Clinical and safety outcomes continue to be unequal between Spanish-speaking limited-English-proficient patients and English-proficient patients in the US healthcare system. In our study, “Spanish Interpreter Services for the Hospitalized Pediatric Patient: Provider and Interpreter Perceptions,” we conducted focus groups at one freestanding children's hospital to elicit perspectives on interpreter and provider roles, modalities of interpretation, and barriers to accessing language services.1 Staff agreed interpreters should provide word-for-word interpretation (conduit role); some felt interpreters could also act as advocates or cultural brokers.
