Fluency, Inc. Partners with Translation Source, Ltd to Increase Language Access, Quality of Care and Patient Satisfaction in Texas Healthcare Market
Houston, TX, April 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Fluency, Inc., a leading provider of online language access management tools has partnered with Translation Source, a leading provider of multilingual solutions for business, government and non-profits, in order to increase language access, quality of care and patient satisfaction in the Texas Healthcare market.
The partnership was formed to capture the synergies between Fluency, Inc.’s online tools, the Internet Interpreter Scheduling System (I2S2™) and their quality control mechanism for healthcare Interpreters (Medical Interpreter Test on the Internet – MITI Test™), with the executive experience of Translation Source in providing industry leading multilingual solutions to healthcare providers across the state of Texas.
“Fluency, Inc. provides a unique set of tools for healthcare providers that increase quality of care and patient satisfaction by ensuring that a non-English speaking individual has the ability to clearly communicate with their provider,” stated Bill Glasser, President of Fluency, Inc.
“Close to 30% of the Texas population speaks a language other than English and research clearly documents that billions of dollars are lost annually due to poor communication in Healthcare. The implementation of these unique tools will allow the Healthcare provider to recapture those lost dollars and put them back where they belong, in patient care,” said Camilo Munoz, Managing Director of Translation Source, Ltd.
The Partnership represents the first of its kind for Fluency, Inc. as they begin to support the National demand for their products. Fluency, Inc. anticipates announcing similar partnerships across the United States within the next few months.
“We are very excited about adding these tools to the solutions we offer our healthcare clients,” said Doug Green, Vice President of Business Development for Translation Source, Ltd. “The ability to allow our clients to capitalize on opportunities and improve efficiency is a key differentiator for Translation Source. Our clients know that they are implementing solutions and not simply buying a product or service. The partnership between Fluency and Translation Source is about enhancing those solutions.”
