Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health is using a new app to make interpreting language faster for patients who are deaf or have limited English proficiency.
Jefferson Health employees can connect to medical interpreters via the GLOBO smartphone app within 60 seconds or less, according to a March 8 release from Jefferson.
The technology allows clinicians to access on-demand interpreters who are available 24/7 and can interpret more than 430 languages.
The aim is to help enhance Jefferson Health's interpreting services across its entire health system.
