address these limitations regardless
Simple
Injury
Prevention
Tips

Provider/Patient behaviors that hurt
interpreters hearing or voice
• Multiple voices speaking [loudly] at the same time
The interpreter is requesting that parties speak one at a
time to be heard.The interpreter requests repetition.
• Items being dropped or colliding
The interpreter is experiencing ear pain from the noise
and requests that [i.e., the pills are not shaken]. The
interpreter requests repetition.
• Self advocate to avoid injuries
Limitations:
Teach them
to Have a
Script
Equipment and connections used by
providers/patients that hurt interpreters
hearing or voice
• Video connections with audio problems
The interpreter cannot safely interpret with this
audio connection and requests to switch to a phone
conference connection.
Limitations:
Teach them
to Have a
Script
• Phone connections that have audio problems
The interpreter requests that the…
[provider/patient moves away from background
noise]
[provider/patient disconnects and dials back in]
[provider/patient switches to other device]
• Self advocate to avoid injuries
REMOTE MODALITIES: COMMON
PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES
What are some common problems?
• Interpreter cannot hear
• Provider/patient poor internet connection causing audio/video problems
• Not seeing nonverbal cues or poor camera positioning
• Ethical problems
• Misguided expectations upon the role of the interpreter
• Managing the flow
• Inappropriate modality for encounter
Common
Problems
and Scripts
• Poor provider awareness and control of
unnecessary noise
The interpreter is unable to hear and requests
that… [say what is needed]
• Poor audio/video/internet connection
The interpreter observes… [video glitching/audio
cutting out]. Can we… [convert to audio
connection only/change device]…
• Not being able to see [nonverbal
communication] due to camera
positioning
The interpreter cannot see the [patient/provider]
and requests the camera be adjusted.
Common
Problems
and Scripts
• Left connected alone with patient
The interpreter is not able to be left connected to
the patient without a provider. Please call back when
you are ready.
• Being asked to stay connected “just in
case”
The interpreter must interpret everything said when
connected
• Being asked to provide identifying
information for documentation that the
interpreter did not interpret
The interpreter did not interpret the [form
name/content of document] but can do so now
and then provide you with the identifying
information.

Common
Misguided
Expectations
and When to
Hand over
Misguided expectations such as:
• No breaks required
• No replacement for long encounters necessary
• No need to transfer an encounter to a colleague
• Interpreters are IT support specialists
• No need to debrief/escalate
Hand over when is it an inappropriate modality:
• Patient cannot speak, speak beyond an inaudible
whisper
• Hard of hearing patient not wearing hearing
aids/using devices
• Some end-of-life discussions/breaking bad news
• When culturally unacceptable
• Some psych cases or those with cognitive problems
POSITIVE LASTING CHANGES
• Self advocacy skills and confidence to address problems
• Standards and ethics of the profession
• Take a seat at the table!

  • 4. Virtually Present: Preparing Healthcare Interpreters to Thrive in Remote Modalities Elizabeth Guinle-Salter MA T&I, CMI
  • 5. OBJECTIVES • Set up the remote working environment and tools to work successfully for video or phone interpreting modalities • Identify early signs and symptoms of voice and hearing injuries suffered by interpreters in a remote modality, and train interpreters how to apply prevention and protection strategies to help avoid injuries • Develop and understand how to apply effective problem-solving strategies for some common problems that remote phone or video interpreters may confront during interpreting encounters
  • 6. REMOTE INTERPRETING WORKSPACE SETUPS Why should we teach interpreters workspace setups and equipment? • Cognitive load • Patient safety • Injury prevention • Privacy • Integrity of profession
  • 7. Remote Interpreting Workspace Focus Areas • Internet speed • Type of connection • Laptop or Desktop • Two screens or one • Separate or inbuilt camera • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996)/others • Software • Desk • Chair • Headset or speaker
  • 8. Remote Interpreting Workspace Focus areas • Acoustics • Sound mixing devices • Home workspace boundaries • Dress professionally & for video • Lighting • Backgrounds, virtual or physical, neutral!
  • 10. Opportunities to encourage • Resources at fingertips • Glossary building • Expand field knowledge
  • 11. INJURIES What do we need to teach our interpreters? • Strategies to prevent on the job injuries • Awareness of signs/symptoms and to act on them! • Identify the limitations in their ability to prevent injuries and address these limitations regardless
  • 12. Simple Injury Prevention Tips • Ensure the setup of the workspace/equipment addresses safety • Routine hearing and voice medical visits • Limit background noise • Breaks! (regular and after long session) • If interpreter cannot hear others while wearing headset, headset audio is too loud • Speaker/headset volume to 50%, mic volume to 100% • Slower speech not louder speech • Sleep and Hydration!
  • 14. Limitations: Teach them to Have a Script Provider/Patient behaviors that hurt interpreters hearing or voice • Multiple voices speaking [loudly] at the same time The interpreter is requesting that parties speak one at a time to be heard.The interpreter requests repetition. • Items being dropped or colliding The interpreter is experiencing ear pain from the noise and requests that [i.e., the pills are not shaken]. The interpreter requests repetition. • Self advocate to avoid injuries
  • 15. Limitations: Teach them to Have a Script Equipment and connections used by providers/patients that hurt interpreters hearing or voice • Video connections with audio problems The interpreter cannot safely interpret with this audio connection and requests to switch to a phone conference connection.
  • 16. Limitations: Teach them to Have a Script • Phone connections that have audio problems The interpreter requests that the… [provider/patient moves away from background noise] [provider/patient disconnects and dials back in] [provider/patient switches to other device] • Self advocate to avoid injuries
  • 17. REMOTE MODALITIES: COMMON PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES What are some common problems? • Interpreter cannot hear • Provider/patient poor internet connection causing audio/video problems • Not seeing nonverbal cues or poor camera positioning • Ethical problems • Misguided expectations upon the role of the interpreter • Managing the flow • Inappropriate modality for encounter
  • 18. Common Problems and Scripts • Poor provider awareness and control of unnecessary noise The interpreter is unable to hear and requests that… [say what is needed] • Poor audio/video/internet connection The interpreter observes… [video glitching/audio cutting out]. Can we… [convert to audio connection only/change device]… • Not being able to see [nonverbal communication] due to camera positioning The interpreter cannot see the [patient/provider] and requests the camera be adjusted.
  • 19. Common Problems and Scripts • Left connected alone with patient The interpreter is not able to be left connected to the patient without a provider. Please call back when you are ready. • Being asked to stay connected “just in case” The interpreter must interpret everything said when connected • Being asked to provide identifying information for documentation that the interpreter did not interpret The interpreter did not interpret the [form name/content of document] but can do so now and then provide you with the identifying information.
  • 20. Common Problems and Scripts Too fast, too much or too disjointed The interpreter requests that you speak in [complete sentences or ideas] [shorter passages] [at a slower pace]. Interpreting Hearing & Listening Managing flow 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 4.5 4.5 3 Visual example of effort on just three competing tasks
  • 21. Teach Interpreters to Clarify Common Misguided Expectations and When to Hand over Misguided expectations such as: • No breaks required • No replacement for long encounters necessary • No need to transfer an encounter to a colleague • Interpreters are IT support specialists • No need to debrief/escalate Hand over when is it an inappropriate modality: • Patient cannot speak, speak beyond an inaudible whisper • Hard of hearing patient not wearing hearing aids/using devices • Some end-of-life discussions/breaking bad news • When culturally unacceptable • Some psych cases or those with cognitive problems
  • 22. POSITIVE LASTING CHANGES • Self advocacy skills and confidence to address problems • Standards and ethics of the profession • Take a seat at the table! • Foster a culture of ongoing professional development.
