Community pharmacists' use of language-access services in the United States

Community pharmacists are not consistently or optimally using LASs in daily practice. Failure to use LASs can result in poorer outcomes for patients with limited English proficiency. Developing means to navigate work station-related barriers to LASs may yield improved patient care. Incorporation of professional continuing educational programs, automated LAS kiosks, natural language processing, and social media solutions merit exploration in addressing these challenges.
