In July 2009, the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) consolidated the efforts of multiple stakeholders representing patients, providers, government, and language service providers, all pushing for healthcare interpreter certification, and created a structured, vendor-neutral plan to best meet the needs of all. To clarify the potential benefits of certification and CCHI activities, three distinguished CCHI commissioners will share with you their insights into the current state of the national healthcare interpreter certification and its potential impact moving forward.

What you will learn

  • How hospitals will benefit by having a nationally recognized healthcare interpreter certification
  • How certification may be factored into a long-term language service development plan including current and future requirements
  • A multi-dimensional model of safety performance that treats injury reduction within the context of the whole organization, including its systems, culture, and leadership
  • What certification will look like, when it will be available, and how much it will cost
