A Study of Language Interpretation Solutions for People With Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The study will be conducted in 2 overlapping phases. In Phase 1, there will be a 3-arm randomized controlled trial of Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting/RSMI (Arm 1), versus Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting/RCMI (Arm 2) and versus Remote Consecutive Video Medical Interpreting/RCVI (Arm 3) in breast cancer outpatient clinical encounters with Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking patients with Limited English Proficiency/LEP (Stages II and III disease) and English- speaking providers (who do not speak Spanish/Mandarin). In Phase 2, there will be a sequential mixed-methods explanatory, multi-stakeholder process evaluation to gather implementation potential data.

Interventions
Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting/RSMI
Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting (RSMI), "UN-style" simultaneous interpreting applied to the medical encounter, which holds tremendous promise for closely approximating a same language encounter, decreasing interpreting errors, and improving outcomes.
Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting/RCMI
Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting (RCMI; "audio consecutive"), is the most commonly utilized remote interpreting
Remote Consecutive Video Medical Interpreting/RCVI
Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting (RSMI), "UN-style" simultaneous interpreting applied to the medical encounter
