Language Line® BiMedical.net is a Web-based service that generates bilingual medical forms and questionnaires.
Printed in both the patient’s and the staff member’s languages, these forms allow a patient to immediately communicate their medical needs to caregivers.
Developed by doctors, nurses, and administrators, BiMedical.Net forms and questionnaires are designed to obtain key health information in an easy and simple-to-understand format.
Bilingual Forms & Questionnaires are Proven to Improve Service Quality and Save Time
“Everyone in healthcare knows the single most important determinant of a rapid and accurate diagnosis is a complete and reliable medical history, which is why LEP patients continue to have significantly higher rates of misdiagnosis and poorer outcomes,” says James Huizenga, M.D., BiMedical.net Project Lead.
“Too often practitioners make do with less information. BiMedical.net helps protect patient safety by giving busy clinical staff more baseline information and more time to use an interpreter to delve into the details of a patient encounter.”

Easy To Use Web-Based Application
The BiMedical.net application is accessed through a single Internet web page and allows the user to rapidly and accurately retrieve one of hundreds of questionnaires in just seconds.Your patient can complete a questionnaire in less than 3-5 minutes. Once completed, your staff members can review the questionnaire in under a minute.
The information gathered by our forms is tailored to the patient encounter and would likely take 15-20 minutes of staff and interpreter time to otherwise obtain.
Increase Service Quality, Safety and Efficiency
Language barriers in medicine are associated with poorer outcomes, increased time requirements, and increased costs.BiMedical.net addresses all of these issues by giving your busy clinical staff more baseline information and more time to use an interpreter to delve into the details of a patient encounter.
Low Cost, Big Gain
