Charts and histories aren't the only things that should be translated. Hospitals can improve patient care -- and make life easier for hospital staff -- by taking medical translation one step further and preparing basic hospital policies in other languages as well.

Effective communication is accomplished both by medical interpreting and by the translation of important medical documents, such as patient medical records, access documents, service agreements and post-discharge instructions.
