Hi Jason,

I will find out I know this was in issue in our PT department.

They found that there was a long wait time with Assyrian they stated they were on hold several times for over 20-25mins. They then spoke to the patient who also was able to speak Arabic. As soon as they found out they switched over to an Arabic interpreter.

I reached out to our PT associate I will forward you her details.

Thanks,

    Your healthcare organization, Harris Memorial Hospital, needs to look at both “hard” and “soft” savings when considering a system’s return on investment. Today’s presentation we will take a deeper look at the soft returns when implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system. It is important to remember that indirect savings are usually applied to processes not easily measured and, thus, quantifying savings can be difficult to see at first.
