3 Language Barriers and Children’s Health and Healthcare l Many studies document that language problems profoundly impact multiple aspects of children’s health and healthcare u Access to care u Health status u Use of health services u Patient-physician communication u Satisfaction with care u Outcomes u Resource utilization l But despite federal requirements to provide interpreters to LEP patients and ample data on effectiveness of interpreters and bilingual providers, about half of LEP patients fail to get interpreters, and 80% of states do not have 3 rd -party payer reimbursement for interpreter services
