| Abstract: | Understanding disease processes, treatments, and special needs for surgical patients with cancer with limited English proficiency (LEP) can promote safe and accurate care. To ensure healthcare equity for patients at a large cancer center, perianesthesia nurses and language assistance staff formed a joint task force to improve the care of perioperative patients with LEP, including those with hearing, speech, or visual impairments. By providing staff with up-to-date communication and language assistive technology and educating them about its proper use, oncology nurses can better advocate for patients with LEP, ensure accurate assessments, and foster health equity. |
