To be understood and to understand - because patient care matters

Health Care

Effective communication within the health care enterprise is increasing in importance and urgency. It is expected by all health-care stakeholders that doctors, nurses, pharmacists and interns literally 'speak the same language' when it comes to health care. Failure to communicate properly could result in errors jeopardizing both the health care enterprise and individual patient's health.

In the health care sector, it is increasingly common for health care to be delivered by professionals whose first language is not English. The quality of health care is directly linked to their ability to be understood and understand information and instructions critical to the health of the patient.

At Carnegie Speech, we tackle the hard part of English instruction – spoken English. While most medical professionals can read and write English, Carnegie Speech helps ensure that they can be better understood – and can better understand – critical health care communications.

Starting with Carnegie Speech Assessment, Carnegie Speech ensures that each student's English skills are accurately measured so that proper instruction can be assigned and spoken language curriculum developed.

Carnegie Speech's NativeAccent® delivers personalized and relevant language instruction that that is student-specific yet can be self-taught or integrated into classroom training. By providing highly detailed analysis and immediate correction of spoken English errors, Carnegie Speech helps health care professionals better communicate while minimizing risk within the health care enterprise.
