InDemand Interpreting Partners with Chicago Hearing Society
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 10, 2016 -- InDemand Interpreting, a language services improvement company and video remote interpreting (VRI) provider within Healthcare, announced a new partnership with Chicago Hearing Society (CHS), to provide video remote interpreting technology as an option for patients who are deaf or hard of hearing in a medical setting.
CHS, a division of Anixter Center, provides an essential service that empowers the deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing and hearing people to contribute and collaborate through an array of programs and assistive technology throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
“We believe that every patient deserves equal access to quality care, and if a live interpreter hasn’t arrived yet, or isn’t available, VRI is an excellent alternative,” said Karen Aguilar, the director of CHS. “Working together with InDemand Interpreting, we are able to immediately connect patients and providers with medically qualified interpreters, which continues to support our high standards for quality of care.”
Through the partnership with InDemand Interpreting, Chicago Hearing Society is now able to provide immediate access to medically qualified and certified interpreters for the deaf and hard of hearing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for more than 2,000 health facilities throughout the Chicago Metropolitan area.
“InDemand is proud to partner with CHS to ensure that every individual, including persons who are deaf and hard of hearing, receive the highest quality care,” said InDemand Interpreting Chairman and CEO Cecil Kost. “We support our partner organizations by providing immediate access to the most experienced medical interpreters and highest quality video technology available.”
InDemand Interpreting and CHS will be demonstrating video remote interpreting technology at the Illinois Health and Hospital Association Conference on May 10th.
