Answering, triaging, and booking Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking patients without putting them on hold to find an interpreter.

A Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking patient who calls a practice with no Mandarin and Cantonese coverage is put on hold while staff find someone, asked to have a relative translate, or lost entirely. Relying on family members to translate clinical information is a patient-safety problem as much as an access one.
