Healthcare translation is enormously important in the current age, because the healthcare industry has emerged as enormously important. As of 2020, the healthcare sector accounted for 19.7% of total US GDP, and US healthcare expenditures stood at $4.1 trillion (Insider Intelligence, 2022). It is an industry that is rapidly moving toward digital care for patients (Insider Intelligence, 2022), and it is an industry that finds itself meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse population, while also being comprised of auxiliary and professional work forces that are also increasingly diverse.
Silicon Valley Translations, by facilitating information flow and the establishment of a robust learning culture, makes communication easier than in the past, brings together far-flung members of the organizational team, and enhances the ability of healthcare organizations to offer customizable services in an age when patients demand as much. Without strong healthcare translation services, healthcare firms will soon find themselves losing ground to competitors.
At Silicon Valley Translations, there is a keen awareness that healthcare translations are sophisticated, demand exactitude, and will need to cover a wide variety of different documents and formats. Our professional translators produce translations for more than a dozen different types of healthcare documents. Here are just some of the documents in the healthcare industry we translate:
Clinical Trial Documents |
Websites |
Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) |
Study Protocols |
Regulatory Submission |
Medical Marketing Material |
Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) & (ePROs) |
Case Report Forms (CRF) |
Labeling & Instructions |
Internal Hospital Programs |
Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COA) & (eCOA) |
Questionnaires |
Patents |
Healthcare Manuals | Quality of Life (QoL) Measures |
Medical Safety Reports & Adverse Events |
These are all sensitive and vital documents that, owing to time constraints, must be translated not only carefully, but also quickly. Executives in the healthcare sector shoulder the burden of overseeing institutions or departments that must find a way to successfully care for a startling number of vulnerable and marginalized peoples – and they must do so while being mindful of liability laws and legal expectations that can inflict devastating harm upon the organization if important documents are poorly translated, or if important information gets “lost in translation”. With Silicon Valley Translations serving as a guide and partner, those kinds of errors will not happen. As such, organizations can avoid ruinous lawsuits or malpractice claims by using translation services that seamlessly connect all members of the staff or faculty with important information, regardless of their first language or background. Similarly, information that must find its way to a diverse array of patients can be delivered in the language with which the patient or his or her family is most comfortable.
