Understanding how language barriers in the paediatric emergency care setting influences safety of care delivery: a scoping review

This scoping review investigates how language barriers impact the safety of care delivery in paediatric emergency settings and identifies strategies to mitigate these risks. The authors found that language barriers pose significant safety risks at various stages of care, particularly during discharge, and emphasized the need for effective interventions, such as professional interpreter services. Future research should explore the potential of technology, including artificial intelligence, to address these communication challenges.
