There are several ways to provide this service, and your practice will probably want to offer a mix of options. On-site interpreting and video remote interpreting (VRI) both offer face-to-face interaction for improved communication, allowing both the patient and interpreter to respond to important non-verbal cues like facial expressions and body language."
