NOTIS and Skagit Valley Hospital present 8 hours of instruction in 3 classes: Barriers to Care: Health Care from the Patient’s Point of View, Ethics Scenarios, Infection Control and Industrial Safety for Medical Interpreters
6/19/2017 WA AOC will belatedly post approval as follows:
Infection Control 2.5 hours Professional credits
Ethics Scenarios 1.5 hours Ethics Credits
Barriers to Healthcare 4 hours General Credits
What is this? Barriers to Care: This 4-hour interactive workshop describes many of the barriers or blocks that patients face as they try to get their health care needs met. Class participants will share the insight that they have gained from their patients relative to what the patients are frustrated with and when they simply give up trying. This is not an advocacy class, rather it is education about the background structure of health care processes that are difficult for patients to navigate.
Ethics Scenarios: This 1.5-hour interactive practice workshop will cover specific scenarios to make the attendees do active problem-solving using the elements of the WA DSHS Code of Ethics. For each scenario, the class will identify which elements of the Code apply, and will work out ways to deal with the situation using decision-making about options as well as professional means of presenting their decision to the parties involved. Bring a pen and paper!
Infection Control and Industrial Safety: This 2.5-hour workshop covers the basics of how to practice interpreting safely as a member of the care team. Why is it important for an interpreter to get the flu shot each year in October? What happens if the interpreter is exposed to active TB on the job? How likely is it that an interpreter will carry dangerous germs home to her family from the clinic or hospital setting? How do we deal with verbal abuse or inappropriate touching from patients? What do we do differently when we interpret for prisoners or on a mental health unit?
