With Speak Now, you can access highly qualified legal interpreters at the touch of a button. Whether you connect with an interpreter through VRI or OPI, our interpreting platform ensures that no legal case is abandoned due to a lack of communication tools.
The fact that there is interpretation in the judicial and legal area is very important, since there can be many complications due to poor communication. It is very common that without the help of an interpreter there are errors in communication in a courtroom, in legal hearings. Without the interpreter in the legal area, cases can be lost, postponing what causes a loss for those involved.
All of ours Interpreters are certified by reputable associations, such as:
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA, is a series of regulatory standards that outline the lawful use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). HIPAA compliance is regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
It is a law that protects patient medical information and privacy. It applies to health care providers, health insurance companies, and third-party entities that process health information. But it also applies to individuals who work closely with health care providers and handle patient health information, including lawyers, consultants, and medical interpreters.
Covered entity healthcare providers may need to use HIPAA interpreters to communicate with a patient. Covered entities may use an interpreter to communicate with a patient (i.e., because the patient speaks another language, is deaf, or is hard of hearing) – without the need for the individual to authorize use or disclosure of PHI – provided certain conditions are met.
Protected health information (PHI) is any demographic information that can be used to identify a patient or client of a HIPAA-beholden entity. Common examples of PHI include names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical records, financial information, and full facial photos to name a few.
PHI transmitted, stored, or accessed electronically also falls under HIPAA regulatory standards and is known as electronic protected health information, or ePHI. ePHI is regulated by the HIPAA Security Rule, which was an addendum to HIPAA regulation enacted to account for changes in medical technology.
