Healthcare

Universal and Complete

Support for Every Deaf Customer

Deaf and hard of hearing patients are almost seven times more likely than hearing patients to have low health literacy. According to the National Institute of Health, these patients utilize their healthcare often, yet the care they receive is not enough. Data shows that 38% of physicians surveyed knew little to nothing about their legal obligations in providing reasonable accommodations for their Deaf and hard of hearing patients. And when asked who determines the accommodation, 71% of the physicians answered incorrectly. When medical providers fail to legally accommodate Deaf patients, they reduce the quality of their health services and are at risk of litigation.

When incorporating third-party interpreters into calls, patients may feel uneasy about revealing sensitive, confidential information, including their SSN and explicit health details, which require stringent privacy measures.

By implementing Direct Video Calling in your healthcare setting, you become a part of the solution, and your Deaf and hard of hearing patients can more easily:
  • Schedule appointments and ask any relevant prep questions 
  • Review billing and insurance questions 
  • Understand upcoming procedures 
  • Get information on prescriptions 
Direct Video Calling ensures full compliance with privacy regulations and protocols, safeguarding patient communication. With DVC, there's no concern about disclosing sensitive personal or medical details to third-party interpreters during calls.

Protect yourselves and protect your patients, learn more about DVC today.
