RSMI HEALS (Health Equity Advances Through Language Solutions) (AI)
Summary
The study will be conducted in 2 overlapping phases. In Phase 1, there will be a 3-arm randomized controlled trial of Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting/RSMI (Arm 1), versus Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting/RCMI (Arm 2) and versus Remote Consecutive Video Medical Interpreting/RCVI (Arm 3) in breast cancer outpatient clinical encounters with Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking patients with Limited English Proficiency/LEP (Stages II and III disease) and English- speaking providers (who do not speak Spanish/Mandarin). In Phase 2, there will be a sequential mixed-methods explanatory, multi-stakeholder process evaluation to gather implementation potential data.
Arms & interventions
- OtherRemote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting/RSMI
Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting (RSMI), "UN-style" simultaneous interpreting applied to the medical encounter, which holds tremendous promise for closely approximating a same language encounter, decreasing interpreting errors, and improving outcomes.
- OtherRemote Consecutive Medical Interpreting/RCMI
Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting (RCMI; "audio consecutive"), is the most commonly utilized remote interpreting
- OtherRemote Consecutive Video Medical Interpreting/RCVI
Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting (RSMI), "UN-style" simultaneous interpreting applied to the medical encounter
Outcome measures
Primary
Number of interpretation errors
Via translation and transcription of audio recordings, errors will be determined in the interpretation of medical facts made in each of the RCT arms during Study Visit 1 (post- diagnosis)
Time frame: up to 30 days
