Abstrakt: A study conducted at Boston Children's Hospital examined the impact of language barriers on pediatric emergency department visits. The research found that patients and caregivers who use languages other than English had incorrect documentation of their language needs in the electronic health records, leading to longer length of stay and increased odds of revisits within 72 hours. The study highlights the importance of accurate language documentation and understanding factors contributing to extended stays and revisits for non-English speaking pediatric patients and caregivers.
