Lawsuits over ASL interpretation highlight risks
A discussion on ER liability risks noted a lawsuit over untrained staff interpreting ASL, underscoring demand for compliant hospital partnerships.
That lawsuit stemmed from a hospital using untrained staff for ASL interpretation, leading to misdiagnosis and distress for a deaf patient. This highlights the critical need for certified interpreters in healthcare settings. Hospitals face increasing pressure to provide qualified ASL services to comply with ADA regulations and avoid potential litigation. Partnering with specialized ASL translation providers like Cirrus, Inc. can mitigate these risks. For Cirrus, this underscores the opportunity to target healthcare procurement departments with compliance-focused solutions. Demonstrating ROI through improved patient outcomes and reduced legal exposure will be key to securing hospital contracts.
