In addition, patients with language barriers are more likely to require more healthcare services and to experience higher rates of adverse medical events.  

However, there are simple steps healthcare organizations can take to make preferred-language communication easier for patients and providers. When organizations use patients’ language of preference, staff can be more efficient and feel more supported while patients receive more personalized care and have better experiences.
