Hsieh, Elaine
- Abstract
The article "More Than Words: Communicating for the Quality of Care" by Elaine Hsieh recounts the author's experiences as a healthcare interpreter during a summer internship. The author reflects on challenging moments that made her question the traditional role of interpreters as passive conduits of information. These experiences led her to pursue a doctoral degree in health communication and research interpreter-mediated medical encounters from a communicative approach. The article emphasizes the importance of effective communication in healthcare interactions to support patient autonomy, provider-patient relationships, and quality care.
