Inova Health System Foundation
Falls Church, VA
• Principal Investigator - Elita Christiansen, MA, MPA
•Serving 5 counties in Northern Virginia and the
Washington DC metropolitan area

Inova Background
Founded in 1956 as a private, not-for-profit organization. Governed by a voluntary
board of community members this fully integrated, comprehensive health care
system provides services to individuals residing in the Northern
Virginia/Washington metropolitan area. Recognized for commitment to
excellence, high quality medical care and community service, Inova is ranked as
the eighth most integrated health system in the nation, rated among the best
hospitals nationally the last 6 years (US News and World Report) and rated the
top 100 Hospitals by HCIA five of the past seven years. Inova’s comprehensive
health system includes three full-service community hospitals, one acute tertiary
care hospital, and a children's hospital. Inova is the principal provider of health
care for Northern Virginia’s Hispanic population. According to hospital discharge
data from Virginia Health Information, Inc. in a typical three-month period in the
year 2000, Inova provided 67% of hospital discharges for residents of the
Northern Virginia region who identified themselves as Hispanic. 60% of the
language services provided at Inova hospitals is for Hispanic patients.
Project Profile
HJPS will include five public and private clinical test sites, with various
levels of clinical services. Interpretation and translation model will be
tested for their ability to meet the needs of the Latino population in
Northern Virginia and improve patient-provider communication. HJPS
will provide partners with the opportunity to test and evaluate multiple
models to determine those best suited to their sites, resources,
patients and providers. Based on the unique needs of the patients
and providers at each site, HJPS will enhance existing services by
strengthening (through training, etc.) those services, or by
establishing new models of service that will supplement and enhance
overall service delivery. Services at each site will be improved in
quality, effectiveness, and acceptability.

Vision
That the Latino community, especially those with limited English
proficiency, and healthcare providers will see significant change because
of the efforts of The Regional Medical Center at Memphis and it’s
partners to insure access to culturally competent and linguistically
appropriate healthcare. Envision that the healthcare quality of life for the
Latino community will be greatly enhanced. Envision that the efforts of
the En Memphis: Hablamos Juntos program can be “regionalized” to
impact communication barriers to healthcare throughout the Memphis
Latino community and the tri-state region of Tennessee, Mississippi, and
Arkansas. Envision that the processes developed can be replicated to
address this issue for any culture and in all settings where language and
culture barriers impede access to appropriate comprehensive healthcare.

69% of all Latinos in Providence, and 45% of all Latinos
in Rhode Island.
• Our Members
• Our Mission- a perfect fit
• Language Services as a priority.
• Partners
What We Hope to Accomplish
• Reimbursement system for the four partner sites.
• This program could clearly serve as the model for the
statewide expansion and for other insurance providers
as well since RIte Care mandates interpreter services as
a covered benefit.
• For NHPRI and its partners to develop a program to
serve as a model for other providers and in other
languages.
What a powerhouse of talent!
