The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded Hablamos Juntos (HJ), a $10-million multiyear demonstration to improve access to health care for Latinos with limited English proficiency and to explore cost-effective ways for health care organizations to provide language access services.
In this manuscript, the authors draw on their experiences in evaluating HJ, provide brief descriptions of innovative interventions, estimate operating costs, and synthesize lessons learned about implementation. A number of barriers and facilitators are documented.
The experience of HJ grantees provides guidance for organizations contemplating similar efforts. In particular, it highlights the need for health care organizations to involve physicians in the design and adoption of language services.

“共同交谈”项目:在本手稿中,作者借鉴了他们评估HJ项目的经验,简要描述了创新干预措施,估算了运营成本,并总结了实施过程中的经验教训。记录了一些障碍和促进因素。
HJ项目受资助者的经验为考虑开展类似工作的组织提供了指导。特别是,它强调了医疗保健组织让医生参与语言服务设计和采用的必要性。
