Creating a Safe, High-Quality Healthcare System for All: Meeting the Needs of Limited English Proficient Populations; Comment on " Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality: The Case for Language Access"

Abstract:
The article by Cheri Wilson, “Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality: The Case for Language Access”, highlights
the challenges of providing Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) to patients with
Limited English Proficiency (LEP). As the US pursues high-value, high-performance healthcare, our ability
to meet the needs of our most vulnerable will determine whether we succeed or fail in the long run. With the
implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this is more important than ever before, as it is estimated
that the newly insured are more likely to be minority and less likely to speak English than their currently
insured counterparts. As such, we must create a safe, high-quality healthcare system for all, especially in this
time of incredible healthcare transformation and unprecedented diversity. Improving Patient Safety Systems for
Patients With Limited English Proficiency: A Guide for Hospitals provides a blueprint for achieving this goal,
and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is taking action.
