Language Availability of Patient Portals at Academic Medical Centers in the United States.

The article examines the availability of language translation on patient portals at academic medical centers in the United States. The study found that while two-thirds of portals were translated into English and Spanish, only a minority were available in non-English, non-Spanish languages. Components of the portals were not consistently translated, with the Interoperability Guide only available in English. The research highlights the importance of language equity in digital healthcare services and suggests that healthcare organizations should prioritize providing language-concordant portals to reduce digital and healthcare disparities.
