Providing interpreters is an integral service provided by many of the hospitals and medical centres. Interpreter scheduling can be a very dynamic and ever-changing process with thousands of bookings which can, in turn, mean thousands of changes.
Language departments do an amazing job, sometimes managing over 100 different languages. Coordinating this process can be resource intensive and demanding. At times, language service departments have not been equipped with the right tools to manage bookings, predict trends or foresee demands.
Coordinating the booking process is resource intensive and demanding. By equipping Hospital Language Service Department LSD with the right interpreter scheduling software, you will drastically reduce administration time and costs.
