5.24.2018 KM 10 How can we best collect language needs information from all patients in our large population?

Practices could use a variety of methods to collect language needs information on a large patient population. They may collect data from all patients and their families to create a report showing language needs or obtain data from an external source (e.g., data about the local community or its patient population). 

Patients who do not speak English and patients from racial/ethnic minority groups may be less inclined to provide this information. Care should be taken to request the information using methods that respect multi-cultural differences.
