As a safety net health system, NYC Health + Hospitals is committed to addressing social determinants of health and bridging health disparity gaps. In our recent webinar, part of our Virtually Integrated Care series, Erfan Karim discussed the need to enhance the healthcare experience for patients while reducing the impact of barriers to access, including language or digital literacy. Powered by eVisit, Virtual ExpressCare offers 24/7 access to timely and appropriate care in over 200 languages, expanding access to underserved communities. Erfan highlighted eVisit's role in providing multiple entry points for patients to connect, such as audio/video and audio-only phone calls. These options cater to patient populations who are not familiar with smartphone technology or lack broadband access—an issue affecting approximately 30% of NYC households, particularly among Black, Hispanic, low-income, and senior communities. ExpressCare and eVisit have developed strategies to guide patients through their health literacy journey, seamlessly converting from audio to video visits as needed. NYC's linguistic diversity underscores the critical need to address language barriers that often prevent patients from connecting to a healthcare professional. NYC Health + Hospitals facilities have key healthcare information available in the top 13 languages spoken across NYC. Erfan Karim described how a proactive approach guarantees accessibility to vital information—from medical consents to discharge instructions—for all patients, irrespective of their primary language. eVisit’s robust technology allows clinicians to swiftly add professional interpreters from preferred partners, covering over 200 languages—including ASL—to virtual visits. Erfan Karim emphasized the continued need to integrate diverse language service providers into workflows, ensuring comprehensive support at every step of the patient journey. The increased visibility of professional interpreters ensures more effective, equitable, and culturally responsive services that keep New Yorkers safer and healthier. #healthaccess #interpreterservices #virtualcare #digitalhealth
