Brief Summary:
In France over 21 million people visit emergency departments every year 10 of whom speak little or no French The language barrier is a problem for patient safety and quality of care Ethical and financial aspects are also affected Unnecessary tests are more frequent hospital stays more numerous and longer Patients management may be inappropriate Patients are less satisfied understand and adhere less to cmanagement and recommendations
Some solutions are available to the emergency physician but their contribution is limited A professional interpreter is reliable and takes cultural aspects into account but his or her cost is high and availability incompatible with emergency care Translation by a close relative poses the problem of confidentiality Telephone interpreting is available at any time but is expensive and less satisfying than direct interaction Computerized machine translation is economical and easy to access but does not take into account all medical terms It also poses a data protection problem Phraselators translate predefined phrases with precision but are time-consuming and unsophisticated
In addition these aids are used during the consultation They are therefore difficult to combine and take up care time
This care time is mainly devoted to establishing medical history essential for the diagnosis prognosis and treatment decisions
MARTI is a digital tool for pediatric emergency room consultations Its aim is to enable the emergency physician to start the consultation with a medical history completed autonomously by the parents during their waiting time Its content has been developed by emergency physicians
Language and cultural barriers are overcome through the use of simple phrases and pictograms developed with linguists language schools and Immigrant organizations
MARTI was used in a pediatric emergency department Feedback from patients and carers indicates that it is ready to be tested in real-life conditions
This pilot study is designed to evaluate how MARTI improves communication with an allophone or a person with comprehension difficulties according to the emergency physician in charge of the consultation
