I wanted to start the first part of this series talking about a very important point why arent medical providers using the services of qualified interpreters. I think really digging in to this question will highlight a lot of the issues in the language services professio

    Excited to share paper written w @AliciaFMD and now in @JournalGIM about using #implementationscience to increase #interpreter use. Paper --> https://t.co/qqPSMR1NzI We use CFIR to discuss importance of multi-level interventions - cannot rely on clinician behavior change! https://t.co/01HZ1i8NJt https://t.co/L275dO7LiO
