Is primary care patient experience associated with provider-patient language concordance and use of interpreters for Spanish-preferring patients: a systematic literature review.
The goal of this systematic literature review was to review associations of patient experience with provider-patient language concordance (LC) and use of interpreters for Spanish-preferring patients. The authors reviewed 217 (of 2193) articles, yielding 17 for inclusion. All articles were cross-sectional, collected data by self-administered surveys or interviews. Results were mixed, with null findings (n = 4) and associations with better patient experience (n = 3) (e.g., receiving diet/exercise counseling and better provider communication). Evidence on interpreter use was also mixed, indicating better (n = 2), worse (n = 2), and no association (n = 2) with patient experience. Associations between Spanish-language preference and patient experience were not significant (n = 5) or indicated worse experience (n = 4). The use of high-quality interpreters was associated with better patient experience.
