With soaring health care costs, understaffed hospitals, and an increasingly diverse immigrant population facing the Texas healthcare industry, the Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators has invited leading organizations and individuals from across the nation to explore ways to decrease costs and increase access while serving patient populations in languages other than English.
Healthcare providers and hospital administrators will learn how to address the needs of increasingly diverse patient populations while controlling costs, achieving compliance, and improving access.
Interpreters, translators, and bilingual individuals will learn about the unique needs of the healthcare provider, the healthcare language professional and the environment in which they work.
The 3rd Annual TAHIT Symposium on Language Access will take place on April 17 & 18, 2009 at the Holiday Inn Austin Town Lake. For more information (agenda, area tour, registration info…) please visit the TAHIT site.
