The Healthcare Interpreter's Tools for
Successful Communication in theTriadic Encounter

Vol. 1: CIFE and the Pre-Session

The primary goal of a healthcare interpreter is to make possible communication between a health care provider and a patient who do not speak the same language. In order to do this, the healthcare interpreter must develop two types of skills: linguistic proficiency and interpreting skills.

The goal of this 20-minute video presentation is to assist interpreters in perfecting interpreting skill with the use of tools for successful communication in the triadic encounter, like CIFE, the perfect mini-model of a pre-session contract.

Interpreters are often called upon to interpret in potentially sensitive situations in which cultural factors impact successful communication in the triadic encounter. In sensitive situations, emotions can run high, resulting in tension among the interpreter, patient and provider. This 40-minute video presentation enables the interpreter to expertly manage situations including interpreting for death and dying, and the diagnosis of sexually transmitted disease through tools for accuracy, conflict management and humanistic interpretation.

Practical Tools for Working with a Limited English Proficient Patient Population
Vol. 1: Working with an Interpreter

More than 44 million people living in the United States speak
a language other than English at home. Successful communication
in the triadic encounter is possible, and there is much
the provider can do to promote a therapeutic alliance and the
wellbeing of each patient. In this 20-minute video presentation,
we present providers with practical tools for working with a
Limited English Proficient (LEP) patient population. This
information can be used to anchor, partner and set the tone for
the interpreted clinical interview and treatment session.

Vol. 2: The Burned Heart. When a Provider is not Fluent in a Patient's Language

It is not uncommon for providers to learn a foreign language to improve communication with patients. However, being conversant in a foreign language does not automatically qualify a provider to provide patient care in that language. In this video presentation, a well-meaning provider attempts to interview a Spanish-speaking patient who presents with abdominal pain. Through this case study, we examine the potentially dangerous effects of false fluencies, poor grammar and a lack of medical terminology.

Vol. 3: Please Speak English!

This 15-minute video presentation will explore the cultural and linguistic divide that often exists among colleagues in the workplace and between patients and health care professionals in medical settings. Through a series of vignettes that illustrate communication barriers between speakers of different languages and between individuals who share a common language but hold diverse backgrounds and values, we will have the opportunity to mirror common workplace behaviors and to examine their impact on patients, colleagues and on ourselves. We will then compare these outcomes to a national cultural competency model established through current health care legislation.

Vol. 4: An Epidemic of Misunderstandings

In any human interaction, there are virtually unlimited possibilities for conflict borne of misunderstanding. This 10-minute video presentation will explore common misunderstandings fueled by the socioeconomic, racial and cultural divide that often exists among colleagues in the workplace and between patients and health care professionals in medical settings. Rather than focus on where the "blame" lies, this video shows that each of us can do our part to prevent epidemics of misunderstanding in the organizations in which we work by approaching every conflict with tools for culturally competent communication.
