Medical Translation Services for Hospitals

To facilitate the best possible care for patients, hospitals need to provide medical communication material and patient documents that are clear, with language that the patient understands completely.

Digital Health Medical Translation Services

As we shift towards a more digital and virtual world, life science companies are working to change the way they handle sensitive information and documentation, as well as interact with patients. By doing so, this also allows for a more streamlined and connected experience for patients as well as doctors and healthcare professionals as healthcare organizations transfer their data and content to a digital platform. Particularly in these unprecedented times, due to COVID-19, digital health has become more important than ever to allow for social distancing between patient and healthcare professionals through telehealth translations, telemedicine, mobile health (mHealth), wearable devices, and health information technology (IT). For this information to be validated, however, it must be accurately translated in accordance with local regulatory policies.

CSOFT Health Sciences provides professional, quick, and cost-effective digital health translations for all modern information technology platforms and devices. We specialize in translating a variety of health documents like EHRs, patient informed consent forms, clinical data reports, and more.

Medical Document Translation Services

Some of the most important documents to translate accurately are electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs contain a patient’s medical history, demographics, diagnoses, medication logs, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, vital signs, and laboratory test results. This information is critical in gaining a better understanding the patient’s health, which allows healthcare professionals to make better decisions regarding treatment. For global health organizations, accurate EHR translation is crucial in ensuring the highest quality of care for patients.

CSOFT uses translation memory to provide consistent professional medical document translations for a quicker turnaround time, at a better ROI in over 250 languages with certified quality.

Good Documentation Practices (GDP), also referred to as GDocP, describes a set of standards that are designed for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries and required by most regulatory bodies including the FDA, EMA, TGA, and more.

Regulatory Translations

Across life science industries, meeting regulatory compliance standards is an essential step in gaining market access. Regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) all require data and documentation to ensure the efficacy and safety of products entering the local market. To gain regulatory compliance, accurate translation of regulatory documentation and data is critical for life science companies to be successful when expanding overseas.

Scientific Article Translations

In the life sciences, many diseases and disorders require global responses and collaboration to develop life-saving cures. To facilitate effective global collaboration, cross-border knowledge sharing and publishing life science research in peer reviewed journals is essential. Although English has dominated the world of academic research, the increasing prominence of the academic sector in non-English speaking countries means that research manuscripts, reviews, abstracts, book reviews, and more must be translated into non-English languages to be effectively utilized to solve global health issues.

Informed Consent Form Translations

Accurate translation of informed consent forms is imperative in protecting both the patient’s safety and the legal security for healthcare professionals and businesses in the life sciences. Informed consent forms that are not properly translated can result in a patient making an uninformed decision, which can lead to malpractice lawsuits. Patients that do not understand English well or at all must have accurately translated versions of these forms to ensure their full comprehension of the regulatory requirements. This also helps provide clear communication between the patient and their physician or healthcare professional regarding treatments and potential side effects for patient health and safety understanding.
