Thanks to ever expanding regulatory requirements handed down by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), pharmaceutical companies are finding it increasingly difficult to pursue and compete in developing global markets. The EMEA alone requires labeling documents to be completed in 23 languages.

Challenges include revising production processes, satisfying evolving product labeling and instructions regulations, meeting industry standards and complying with new formatting requirements such as the FDA’s 21 CFR Part II governing electronic records and Structured Product Labeling (SPL), requiring labeling in XML format.

Companies must also contend with a broad range of language translation requirements.

The number of Americans who speak a language other than English at home is growing every day. As healthcare professionals, you understand all too well the challenges this poses to ensuring equal access to all, a situation made all the more difficult by a changing regulatory landscape and shrinking budgets.

Meanwhile, markets for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and other healthcare-related products grow ever more global in scope. Increasingly complex approval processes, regulatory mandates, industry standards, and language and documentation requirements can all dramatically impact your ability to compete.

To compete and succeed in today’s global economy, your customers have to be able to clearly and effectively communicate with customers around the world, as well as suppliers, vendors, supply chain and distribution channel partners, and a host of others.

But truly effective communication involves more than just language translation. In the same way that your brand is more than just a logo, your message is more than just a collection of words.

The nation’s growth of LEP speakers poses a growing challenge for the healthcare industry. To effectively communicate health related information, public agencies and healthcare providers must ensure limited and non-English speakers clearly understand information that impacts their health.

Healthcare literacy is broadly defined as the ability to obtain, interpret and understand basic health information and services, as well as possessing the competence and motivation to use such information and services. It is a growing concern among constituents in the healthcare industry as nearly 78 million people in the United States are healthcare illiterate. At risk is the health of these populaces and a growing cost for public and private organizations if healthcare literacy is not addressed.

How organizations can best meet these challenges is the topic of the upcoming webinar, Bridging the Healthcare Literacy Language Gap - Key Strategies for 2010. Provided by viaLanguage, a leader in healthcare translation and website localization services, the webinar will address the challenges of healthcare literacy and discuss strategies organizations can employ to help navigate the language barriers they face. The webinar will address:

• Best practices employed today to alleviate the challenges of translating healthcare communications to non-English and limited English speaking populations.
• Examples of organizations meeting these challenges in a changing and uncertain healthcare environment.
• How to avoid pitfalls in managing a mass translation project in the healthcare industry.

The webinar is offered free to public and private organizations, and individuals who seek to address the challenges of healthcare literacy among LEP populaces. To register for the webinar click here. Registrants will also receive a free whitepaper outlining the challenges of healthcare literacy and its broader impact throughout 2010.
