Nursing perspectives on advancing language access in the emergency department: A qualitative study
We identified nursing perspectives on barriers and facilitators to language access and used the BCW to construct interventions. ED administrators can use these interventions as part of efforts to eliminate the underuse of language services and the potential negative impact outcomes for patients with a NELP.
