Jefferson Health employees can connect to medical interpreters via the GLOBO smartphone app within 60 seconds or less, according to a March 8 release from Jefferson. 

The technology allows clinicians to access on-demand interpreters who are available 24/7 and can interpret more than 430 languages. 

The aim is to help enhance Jefferson Health’s interpreting services across its entire health system.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
