LSA is selected TI provider after successful pilot program

Horsham, Pa. (March 5, 2010) – Language Services Associates (LSA), a leading language services provider offering a full suite of interpretation and translation solutions, announced today it has been awarded a three-year contract by Albert Einstein Healthcare Network to provide Interpreting by Telephone (IBT) services.  This announcement comes on the heels of a successful pilot of LSA’s IBT services at several Albert Einstein facilities, including Einstein Center One, MossRehab and Albert Einstein Medical Center.  Under the terms of this contract, LSA will be responsible for providing on-demand telephonic interpretation services, in over 200 language offerings, to the non-English speaking patients that visit one of Albert Einstein’s major facilities or outpatient centers seeking medical care.

As the primary language services provider for a number of local hospitals and healthcare organizations, LSA is proud to continue eliminating multicultural communication barriers while improving the quality of patient care.  “We are honored and delighted that Albert Einstein Healthcare Network has awarded us with a three-year contract for telephonic interpretation services,” said Starla Keith, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, LSA.  “We look forward to continuing to serve the non-English speaking population of our local community.”  Some of the many hospitals that currently benefit from LSA’s premier language-based solutions include Holy Redeemer Health System, Temple University Hospital and Riddle Hospital.

The contract, formerly managed by Language Line Services, will last a minimum of three years with an official start date of March 8, 2010.  Members of LSA’s sales and client services departments will be completing the implementation process, which includes the installation of dual headset phones and clinical in-servicing, at select Albert Einstein facilities throughout the week of March 8.
