Regional Healthcare System (450+ Bed Hospital Network)
A multi-hospital healthcare system serving a diverse metropolitan area faced critical language access challenges. With 35% of patients speaking limited English, the system experienced a 23% higher rate of adverse events among LEP patients, longer average hospital stays (4.2 vs 3.1 days), and patient satisfaction scores 18 points below English-speaking patients. They needed to translate 75,000+ pages of patient materials, consent forms, and discharge instructions into 15 languages while maintaining strict HIPAA compliance and meeting Joint Commission language access standards.
Day Translations implemented a comprehensive healthcare translation program including: (1) A dedicated team of 45 medical translators with clinical backgrounds in nursing, pharmacy, and medical terminology, (2) HIPAA-compliant secure translation workflow with encrypted file transfer and BAA agreements, (3) Medical terminology glossaries customized for each specialty department, (4) Integration with the hospital's Epic EHR system for seamless document management, (5) 24/7 on-call interpreting services for emergency departments, and (6) Quality assurance process with physician review for clinical accuracy.
Within 18 months: 99.8% translation accuracy rate verified by clinical review, 42% reduction in adverse events among LEP patients ($2.3M annual savings in avoided complications), 28% decrease in average length of stay for LEP patients (saving $1.8M annually), patient satisfaction scores increased 24 points to match English-speaking patients, 100% Joint Commission compliance achieved, and ROI of 340% on translation investment within first year.
