CyraCom Sings Latest Information Hospitals Need to Prevent Bad Luck with Limited English Patients
CyraCom, which provides over-the-phone interpretation at 700+ hospitals for the nation's immigrants, is named for this literary figure. "In an odd coincidence, the company has its first quarter information about language use, ready for its debut also," says its CEO Michael D. Greenbaum.
The new statistics illustrate that the country's hospitals need to be attuned to the increasing diversity of voices those in their facilities are "singing." For example, in California alone during the first quarter , eleven new languages were needed compared to the first quarter of the year before.
Emerging voices--languages--being heard louder in the nation's hospitals include, from Africa, Maay Somali: from Guatemala and Mexico, Kanjobal and from northern Europe, Krahn, Danish and Norwegian.
Some voices in the chorus have changed places during first quarter . While Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese and Korean are the four most frequently heard in hospitals, Arabic ranked number five during first quarter , rather than Polish. Polish was number five overall in 2004.
"Our country's hospitals deal with many pressures today. One that is increasingly a louder part is the growing diversity of our population," said Greenbaum. More than one million immigrants a year have come to this country annually since 2004 according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
CyraCom, based in Tucson, Ariz., was named to the 2004 Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies in the United States. For more information, see www.cyracom.com
