N2  - This PHP project is part of the on-going work of previous nursing students who identified a serious, but modifiable health risk to LEP patients who must decide if they are going to take medications with labels and directions that they can't understand. While providing interpreter services at the pharmacy service desk is already law as part of the Civil Rights Act, this is not widely known or enforced, nor does it address the labeling issue. As nurses we know that helpful medications can quickly become harmful if taken incorrectly. Compared to fluent English speakers, LEP patients have double the rate of medication errors. Medications errors also result in 700,000 emergency room visits and 120,000 hospitalizations every year in the U.S. This is how and why SB698 came into being. At the start of term, the bill had just passed the Oregon Senate and was sent to the House of Representatives.
