Breaking the Language Barrier: Spanish Terms and Phrases for Medical Office Personnel 1st Edition

Designed as a quick reference, BREAKING THE LANGUAGE BARRIER: SPANISH TERMS AND PHRASES FOR MEDICAL PERSONNEL provides key medical terminology that makes it easier to communicate with the Spanish-speaking patient.

This is more than an English-Spanish translation dictionary, content includes bilingual information for greeting and scheduling, patient registration, intake and examinations, insurance and billing, referrals, protected health information, infection control, durable medical equipment, lab tests and special procedures, and health education - all in a convenient guide that can fit in a pocket! Full-color anatomical illustrations, labeled in Spanish and English, serve as a handy reference to help patients communicate their needs and concerns.

Chapters open with an alphabetical list of common medical terms in English accompanied by Spanish translations. The chapters then address topic-related questions and phrases most commonly experienced by medical personnel when communicating with the patient. Color-coded tabs identify the four main units of the guide for quick and easy access.
