I decided that using a telephone interpreter as a way of communicating with the patient was a great idea, I very slowly and clearly asked him if he was happy for me to get the telephone interpreter and he agreed. When I had the telephone interpreter on the phone I asked him again if he was happy to use the interpreter to make sure he understood my question initially, again he agreed that he was happy for me to use the telephone interpreter. The main communication problem that we had was that he was able to understand me but his verbal English was limited.

The system automatically transcribes the orders and generates a MAR. One of the benefits of electronic order entry systems is that errors related to illegible writing, incomplete orders or misunderstandings resulting from verbal and telephone orders are decreased.
