BEACH, Fla., May 19, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- UpHealth, Inc. (NYSE: UPH) has reached over 1.5
million minutes of translation through its interpretation service,
Martti™, at one of New Jersey's top comprehensive healthcare
systems. Martti™ by UpHealth
partnered with the healthcare system in October 2021 to provide remote language
interpretation services to patients and their companions. Since
then, the integration of the Martti™ system has allowed the
health system to help over 118,000
patients through the over 1.5 million minutes of translation.
Martti™ is an interpretation service that includes language
access and is also interoperable with electronic health records
(EHR) and other telehealth platforms to put patients and care teams
in touch 24/7 with certified and qualified medical interpreters
trained in more than 250 languages, including American Sign
Language.
"The UpHealth partnership with one of New Jersey's top comprehensive healthcare
systems brings our best-in-class language access via Martti™ to
support equitable access and inclusive care for underserved and
diverse populations," said Andy Panos, Executive Vice
President of U.S. Telehealth at UpHealth. "It's essential that
patients and healthcare providers communicate accurately and
clearly with each other from start to finish and Martti™
Interpretation helps do just that. We are thrilled to be impacting
more effective, safe, reliable care for millions, and encouraging
better health outcomes for all patients and their companions, not
just those who are English proficient or those who aren't hearing
impaired."
Nearly 1,200 Martti™ devices have been deployed across the
health system to enable over 1.5 million minutes of interpreting
service to date. These devices support more than 35,000 employees
and have enhanced more than 118,000 patient encounters since
October 2021. The Martti™ system has
also been fully integrated into the hospital issued Vocera
devices.
The partnered health care system provides care to 5 million
people across 9 counties in the state of New Jersey and is deeply focused on addressing
issues such as health disparities, access and implicit bias in the
clinical setting to ensure high-quality and reliable health care
for all of its patients and their companions.
Overall Martti™ interpretation satisfaction among providers sits
at 4.8 out of 5 stars. For more information about Martti™,
