Use of Pediatric Primary Care Telephone Advice by Families Whose Usual Language Spoken at Home Is Not English.
Clinical Pediatrics 2018 December 6
Language barriers and access to telephone advice have been shown to affect patient care. Less is known about access to telephone advice for families whose usual language is not English. The objective was to characterize the use of pediatric primary care telephone advice by families based on usual language spoken at home. A total of 277 surveys were completed by families presenting for sick visits at an academic pediatric primary care practice. No meaningful differences in the use of telephone advice when a child was sick were found by language category. Overall, 80.5% reported calling the clinic first when the clinic was open, but 77.6% went to the emergency department when the clinic closed. In conclusion, use of telephone advice was similar among families regardless of usual language. Most families reported going to the emergency department when the clinic was closed. More research is needed to identify barriers to the use of telephone advice, particularly after hours.
