​Interpreter Training and Testing

Annual Interpreter Testing for Hospital Staff Interpreters

The Joint Commission (JCO) requires hospitals to use interpreters are qualified and competent to perform the service of interpretation. Qualifications and competencies can be met in a variety of ways and The Joint Commission references several options for meeting the requirements for both qualified and nationally-certified interpreters:

• Language proficiency testing
  
• Training in the practice of interpreting
  
• Interpreting experience in a health care setting
  
• Knowledge of medical terminology
  

​​

Let Westbridge Solutions help you ensure that your hospital interpreters remain compliant with The Joint Commission standards!

Westbridge Solutions employs a rigorous in-house testing process to measure and evaluate the above skills of your organization's interpreters. Once that is completed, the Westbridge Solutions team scores the test and creates a written report to the language services department of the healthcare organization, detailing the participant’s strengths, areas in need of improvement, as well as our recommendations. The results are normally delivered within 2 weeks. Call us today for more information!
