CLAS Standards
Non-English speaking patients present a challenge for those working in the healthcare industry due to the difficulty in accurately assisting and assessing the patient's needs. Because of this, it is required that interpreters be provided for patients who are non-English speakers.
Medical Language Interpretation Tools
There are six commonly used medical interpretation tools that hospitals can select from when serving patients. The first tool is a trained professional medical translator. This resource is optimal for larger hospitals that are serving a large amount of a certain group of people. For instance, an area with a large number of French speaking patients should have a French medical translator on staff. The second option is using a phone medical translator. When using a phone translator, the doctor, patient, and translator are all on the phone at the same time and work together to discuss the circumstances. The third option for areas that serve a wide array of international patients from differing backgrounds is using the AT&T translation line. This line provides translators for every background and is a much less expensive option when used occasionally.
The other three options...
The first option is using bilingual staff. While this option may seem less expensive to the hospital, there is a danger of the bilingual staff translating incorrectly due to compromised interests. The next unacceptable option is allowing a community volunteer to translate. In smaller communities this can be highly detrimental as the patient may not be willing to share information with someone they know from the community. Finally, family members are often used to translate. This option is by far the least optimal as both patient and concerned family member may alter the translation and information given to please the person translating.
Legal Responsibilities
Regardless of the cost, hospitals are required under the Civil Rights Act and CLAS to provide language assistance. Anything less by a federally funded hospital could…
CLAS Standards The widespread occurrence of Military Sexual Trauma requires an educational program to eliminate MSTs and deal with the difficulties created by MSTs that have or will occur. Some aspects of the victim, extended family, neighborhood and the Military itself can efficiently establish and enhance this educational program.

Certain states have very high risks for students and there even three quarters or more of the teachers report about this high pressure, whereas in states where the stakes are low, the report of pressure is for half the students or less. The pressure on the teachers is also reflected in the position taken by elementary and middle school teachers who were more positive about the changes than high
At which point, the students would begin studying composition of functions to verify each other. There will be a brief period of one day, to review the information that was covered during the quarter. (Cox, 2006) In the first week of August, is when a comprehensive review will take place, covering everything that was presented in the year and preparing students, for their achievement as well as quarterly examinations.

Additionally, another class emerged, as a result of the industrial revolution and this was the industry wealth class, that to some degree replaced the aristocratic classes in old school societies, and especially those in Europe. These upwardly mobile individuals though they were few in number had a very large impact on social and economic change in all areas.

Standard/NonStandard Assessment for SPED Individual Educational Plans (IEPS) are a way in which teachers and the school system can address special services that provide programs for children with delayed skills or disabilities. A child that has difficulty learning and functioning and may be identified as a special needs student is the type of candidate for an IEP. However, in order for there to be a fairer way to administer and develop
Standard-Relational and Object-Relational Databases Software development has experienced evolution over the past few decades given the increasing demands for better information systems in today's society, especially in the modern business environment. The evolution of software development during this period has also been influenced by the tremendous changes in the ways with which computers are used and programmed. The changes in software development have contributed to the emergence of different categories of
