InDemand Interpreting and Critical Measures Present E-Book Series on Major Language Access Changes Under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 21, 2016 -- InDemand Interpreting, a language services improvement company and video remote interpreting (VRI) provider within Healthcare, today announced a series of three e-books on major language access changes under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. The e-book series was developed in partnership with Critical Measures, a national management training organization specializing in cross-cultural healthcare and the law of language access. “Major Changes to the ACA – How will They Affect Your Language Access Program?” is being released in three e-books over six weeks.
In May, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) formally adopted sweeping new anti-discrimination provisions under the Affordable Care Act that will have dramatic effects on the law of language access for limited English proficient and Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients. These new provisions, which took effect on July 18, 2016, apply to “every [federal] health program or activity, any part of which receives Federal financial assistance.”
Two installments of the e-book series are available for download now: “Part 1: What Are the New Regulations” and “Part 2: How to Comply with the New Regulations.” The third installment, “Part 3: Leveraging Technology as Part of Your Compliance Strategy,” will be released in early August.
“We are pleased to partner with Critical Measures to create this e-book series to benefit healthcare organizations nationwide,” said Cecil Kost, Chairman and CEO of InDemand Interpreting. “We believe every patient in any medical setting should receive the highest quality healthcare, regardless of language, cultural background or disability, and this e-book series will continue to support that mission.”
