NEW Standard Documentation tools Available in Epic for Documenting use Interpreter Services

New documentation tools are available NOW in Epic to document use of the My Accessible Real-Time Trusted Interpreter (MARTTI) interpreter service. A new Flowsheet Smartform has been created to capture required interpreter services documentation. The Flowsheet Smartform was selected to document this information, because multiple rows can be used to document multiple interactions with the interpreter.

A new SmartPhrase is also now available that can be used to pull interpreter information from the SmartForm into the progress note!

Providing interpreters for our Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and American Sign Language (ASL) patients is a regulatory requirement. The MARTTI Interpreter Service is the health system’s approved vendor for providing these services.

When an Interpreter service is needed both the clinical staff and/or provider should take the following steps in Hyperspace:

Navigate to the Rooming Tab.
Click the Interpreter section.
Click the Yes button to expand the form.
Complete the following fields:
Services Used
Interpreter’s Name
Interpreter’s ID (Required)
Language
Call Start Time
Call End Time
Click Close

Using SmartPhrase .AMBINTERPRETER will render the current encounter’s last instance that was entered on the Interpreter SmartForm into the note workspace.
