A total review of the National Code of Ethics for Interpreters in Healthcare and the National Standards of Practice for Interpreters in Healthcare published by the National Council on Interpreting in Healthcare (NCHIC).
The NCIHC’s National Standards of Practice are designed to help improve the quality and consistency of interpreting in health care. Like the clinical protocols for physicians, these new standards will provide guidance as to what is expected of healthcare interpreters and what constitutes good practice.
The protocols specifying interpreter actions are a direct consequence of the ethical principles. Review of protocols, pre-encounter, pre-session, or pre-interview; during the encounter, session, or interview; and post-encounter, post-session, or post-interview.
This 2-hour training is open to certified and qualified interpreters.
