A systematic literature review from March through June 2014 supports the premise that limited English proficiency (LEP) persons face barriers and disparities to medical care that English-speaking persons do not face. Language barriers have a negative impact on health and health care, including lower health status, lower likelihood of having a primary care provider, lower rate of preventative care, higher use rate of diagnostic tests, higher rate of severe psychopathology diagnoses, and higher risk of drug complications . Additionally, LEP persons experience problems with effective communication with providers, inappropriate diagnoses and treatments, lower comprehension of medication instructions and adherence to regimens, fewer follow up visits, low quality care, poorer health outcomes, and low patient satisfaction.
