Better communication between patient and provider translates into better care. Hartford HealthCare in Connecticut is partnering with the American School for the Deaf to offer in-person American Sign Language services and other translation services for deaf and hard-of-hearing patients and their companions. The health system is adding a full-time ASL/English medical interpreter to its team so that patients can understand their providers and fully participate in conversations, including asking questions and requesting advice.
