LanguageLine TranslateExpress Now Available in the Epic Toolbox

LanguageLine Solutions has made a significant advancement in healthcare communication by integrating its TranslateExpress service into the Epic Toolbox. This strategic move facilitates direct access for Epic’s clients to the essential translation services required in today's fast-paced healthcare environment. For those unfamiliar with Epic, it is one of the most widely utilized electronic health record (EHR) systems globally, employed by numerous hospitals and healthcare organizations to manage a variety of healthcare services including patient records, scheduling, billing, and care coordination.

The inclusion of LanguageLine’s TranslateExpress in Epic’s platform represents a pivotal change for healthcare systems. It enables seamless discovery, evaluation, and integration of high-quality translation services right within the ecosystem that healthcare providers rely on daily. This ultimately eliminates a major challenge faced by healthcare providers when attempting to incorporate compliant translation solutions into their clinical workflows.

TranslateExpress is specifically designed to translate patient-facing documents like after-visit summaries and discharge instructions, helping ensure that patients remain fully informed about their care. The service guarantees that each translation undergoes human review, with turnaround times ranging from just 2 to 4 hours, thus keeping pace with clinical operations without impeding them.

As Antonio Tejada, the Vice President of Translation and Localization at LanguageLine, states, “Being available in the Epic Toolbox puts EHR translation exactly where care teams already work.” His insights highlight the service’s ultimate goal: to reduce friction between healthcare providers and patients who require understanding of their care instructions and documents. The listing is significant as it enables health systems to introduce high-quality translation into Epic without complicating existing systems or workflows.

The TranslateExpress service stands out due to its combination of speed, accuracy, security, and compliance that significantly reduces manual effort while delivering trustworthy documents to patients and providers alike. By embedding these translation capabilities into Epic’s framework, LanguageLine plays a crucial role in enhancing communication between healthcare providers and their patients across language barriers, promoting clearer understanding and better overall care experiences.

This integration is not just a technological enhancement but a step forward in ensuring that all patients, regardless of their language proficiency, receive the quality of care they deserve.
