Tomorrow, Tatiana González-Cestari PhD, our Director of Language Service Advocacy, will present at the 2024 TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF HEALTHCARE INTERPRETERS AND TRANSLATORS (TAHIT) Annual Summit! Her talk, “Elevating the Role of Healthcare Interpreters: Contributing to Positive Health Outcomes,” will address an essential question: Why is the healthcare interpreting profession often undervalued, and how can interpreters change that narrative? Tatiana will share insights on how interpreters can shape better health outcomes and strengthen the profession by fostering engagement, expanding knowledge, advocating assertively, and leading with purpose. This is a must-attend session for anyone committed to advancing healthcare communication and the crucial role interpreters play. Here’s to reshaping perspectives and making a difference together!

We're excited to share that Sarah Stockler-Rex, our Manager of Interpreting Quality and Training, is representing our team today at the American Translators Association's 65th Annual Conference! In her presentation, “Shifting the Paradigm in Strategic Mediation: An Updated Model to Include All Interpreting Modalities,” she unveils an innovative four-step mediation model designed to support communicative autonomy in remote interpreting without compromising effectiveness. This forward-thinking approach, developed by Sarah and Tatiana González-Cestari PhD, is grounded in extensive data on remote interpreting and emphasizes turn-taking patterns to enhance transparency and rapport in interpreted interactions. We're thrilled to see this impactful model make waves in the interpreting field!

This Medical Term Monday, we're highlighting 'sepsis.' Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s response to an infection causes widespread inflammation. Recognizing sepsis early is crucial. It can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and even death if not treated promptly. Symptoms may include fever, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and confusion. Got questions about other medical terms? We're here to make healthcare terminology easy to understand, one term at a time.

Hier soir, nous avons assisté au dévoilement des finalistes pour le Prix d'Excellence de l'Administration Publique pour lequel nous avons soumis notre projet d'interprétation sur demande virtuelle- Voyce. Un grand merci à l'Institut d'administration publique du Québec pour cette belle reconnaissance. La plupart d'entre nous considèrons comme acquis le fait de pouvoir communiquer avec nos équipes soignantes. Notre CIUSSS dessert la population la plus hétérogène de l'île de Montréal. En effet, 40 % de notre population est composée d'immigrants. Cette population dépend de nous pour des services essentiels et des milliers d'entre eux dépendent sur les services d'interprétation pour communiquer avec leurs équipes de soins. Sans cette interprétation, les patients peuvent être confrontés à un stress important, des traitements inappropriés, des diagnostics erronés et bien plus encore. C'est pourquoi le déploiement de l'interprétation médicale virtuelle sur demande par Voyce a été si important pour nous. L'année dernière, plus de 25 000 appels ont été lancés avec Voyce à travers notre CIUSSS avec un temps de connection de moins de 22 secondes. Non seulement nous avons considérablement amélioré l'accès pour ces patients, mais nous avons également réduit la charge administrative des équipes et diminué les coûts de 75 % par rendez-vous, ce qui se traduit par des économies importantes pour notre réseau. Le Québec accueille plus de la moitié des demandeurs d'asile au Canada démontrant que ce service virtuel a le potentiel d'améliorer l'accès et l'équité pour les patients allophones à travers la province. Merci à nos équipes extraordinaires pour votre travail exceptionnelle et votre persévérence lors du déploiement de ce beau projet et merci au comité de changement transformationelle pour votre soutien et leadership au courant des dernières années. Cette reconnaissance revient à nous tous ! Dominique Dufour Brigitte Marcotte Carrie Bogante, CPA Georges Bendavid Lucie Tremblay Alan Maislin Lawrence Rudski Serge Cloutier Carine Fortin Jeremy Waiser Andrew Royce Erin Cook Jacynthe Caron @christina greenaway Alan Maislin

This Medical Term Monday, we're highlighting 'bradycardia.' Bradycardia refers to a slower than normal heart rate, typically fewer than 60 beats per minute in adults. 🫀 Understanding bradycardia is essential for heart health. While it might not always cause symptoms, it can lead to dizziness, fatigue, or even fainting if the heart isn’t pumping enough blood to meet the body's needs.
