CMS Guidelines Checklist

Meeting CMS guidelines for language access as a medical provider or clinic is crucial for providing the best possible care for all patients, regardless of their language proficiency. By following these steps, medical providers and clinics can ensure that they are providing the highest quality care to all patients, regardless of language.

The @alcus_org 23rd Annual Summit day 3 was packed with insight and inspiration. From learning new approaches to linguist hiring with Randy Morgan, Anneliese Finegan, and Stephanie Casale, to Robert Ratliff’s reminder to lead with heart, and Aaron Howard sharing the art of selling words, every session gave us something to take home and put into practice.🎶

Grateful to be surrounded by so many brilliant minds and excited for what’s ahead!

Technical terms can get tricky, even for experienced interpreters. 💡 When you run into a medical term you’re unsure about, don’t be afraid to pause and ask the provider to explain it in simpler words.

The key? Let both the provider and the patient know you’re asking for clarification. That way, everyone’s on the same page and the communication stays clear and transparent.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having all the answers, it’s about making sure everyone understands each other. 💬✨

👉 Want to sharpen your skills even more? Classes for the Linguava Interpreter Academy open December 8–17 (Orientation Dec 5). Grab your spot before it fills up!
