6.14.2018 KM 10 (Pediatric Specific) How can we best collect language needs information from all patients in our large population?

Practices can use two methods to collect language need information:

1. Collect data from all patients and their families to create a report showing language needs.

2. 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.
