Calls we interpret

Phone interpreters for psychiatric evaluation calls with families, follow-ups and scheduling

Phone does not replace the evaluation itself. Clinicians book a phone interpreter for the calls around it.

History from a relative

A relative often knows how the symptoms started and how the patient has been at home. The clinician calls the relative, and the interpreter interprets in both directions in the relative's language.

Follow-up questions

After an evaluation, the clinician may call the patient with a few questions about medicines or symptoms. Book the time the clinician plans, since the interpreter is reserved for it.

Scheduling and intake calls

The clinic calls to set up the evaluation, explain what will happen and ask about consent and forms. Each part is interpreted for the patient or the family.

Psychiatric calls

What to know about psychiatric calls with an interpreter

When phone is used

A phone call is used for the parts of an evaluation that need only conversation, such as taking the history from a relative who lives elsewhere, or a follow-up with the patient after the main visit. It is also used when the patient has no video, and the interpreter can dial in from anywhere in the US. The evaluation itself is usually held in person or by video.

Who is on the line

The clinician dials in at the booked time, asks the questions and leads the call. The patient answers about themselves from any phone, and a relative answers about how the patient has been. When both need to be on the call, the interpreter adds the second person once everyone is connected. The interpreter dials in from wherever they work.

ClinicianInterpreterPatient

The interpreter's role

On the phone the clinician cannot see the patient, so the exact words count even more. The interpreter says what the patient or the relative says in the first person, as it was said, including answers that are confused or incomplete, and does not smooth them over. The clinician's questions go back in full. The interpreter takes no side, treats the call as confidential, and neither advises nor gives opinions.

Calls with family

A history call with a relative is a separate call from the patient's own evaluation. Book it as its own session in the relative's language, and say in the notes how the relative knows the patient. The clinician asks a question and pauses, the interpreter says it to the relative, and the relative's answer is interpreted for the clinician.

On-site, video or phone

Choosing between phone, video and on-site for a psychiatric evaluation

Phone works for history and follow-up calls. For the evaluation itself, choose video or an interpreter in the room.

On-site
Book an interpreter in the room for an evaluation in a clinic, on a hospital unit or at the examiner's office.
On-Site Interpretation for Psychiatric Evaluations
Video (VRI)
Video fits the evaluation itself, when the clinician wants to see the patient and the two are in different places.
Video-Remote Interpretation for Psychiatric Evaluations
Phone (OPI)
Phone fits the history call with a relative and the short follow-up, and a patient who cannot use video.

FAQ

Questions about phone interpreters for psychiatric evaluations

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Does the patient need an app or a smartphone?

No. Anyone can dial in from any phone with the number and the access code from the confirmation. You share both with the patient or the relative.

02Can the whole evaluation be done by phone?

The clinician decides. If the clinician wants to see the patient, book video or an interpreter in the room instead.

03Can we switch to video if the call needs it?

Yes. We can change the booking to a video session, depending on whether the interpreter is free at that time.

04Does the call stay confidential?

Yes. The interpreter works under an NDA, and a BAA can be arranged for healthcare customers. Nothing is recorded unless you ask.

05How is a psychiatric phone call priced?

You pay for the time you book, and the total is shown before payment. A history call can run long, so book the length the clinician plans, because time left unused is not refunded.

06Which languages can I book for a psychiatric call?

70 languages, always with English on one side. A relative may speak a different language from the patient, so tell us which language the call is in. Spanish, Mandarin and Russian are the easiest to schedule, and Pashto needs more notice.

07Are your Pashto interpreters certified?

Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Pashto interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.

08Do you cover all Pashto dialects?

Pashto has distinct Northern (Yusufzai, used in KP and around Peshawar) and Southern (Kandahari) dialects. We match dialect to the speaker, especially in formal proceedings.
