Language-centered approach to care improvement in a pediatric dermatology clinic

© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

Language-congruent care can improve clinical outcomes. As a quality improvement initiative supported by the Department of Dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital, the American Academy of Dermatology, and the Society for Pediatric Dermatology, our group established monthly pediatric dermatology "Spanish clinics" that scheduled Spanish-speaking patients on the same day and utilized a dedicated, live interpreter who stayed with the clinical team throughout the clinic. Patients reported high satisfaction scores, averaging 9.8 out of 10, and 90.5% of patients preferred this model to traditional appointments. Our participating physician found "Spanish clinics" allowed for more efficient care not only in the monthly pilot clinics, but in all clinics occurring during the time period.
