HOSPITALS BENEFIT FROM EASIER, COST-EFFECTIVE OPTION FOR MULTI-LINGUAL WEBSITES
COCONUT CREEK, FL and SOLVANG, CA (June 27, 2005) – Recognizing that more than 45 million Americans don't speak English as their primary language or don't speak English at all, MotionPoint Corporation, a provider of multi-lingual consumer communication services for government and online business operations, and MedSeek, a leading e-healthcare company, have partnered to offer hospitals an entirely new alternative to develop multi-lingual web sites easily and cost-effectively.
The two companies have come together to help hospitals of any size accommodate the increasing number of patients who use the Internet to access important healthcare information and send a positive message to consumers that hospitals care about providing information to patients.
MotionPoint provides hospitals with a fundamentally different, turnkey approach to website translation by combining best-of-class professional human translations with proprietary software tools that remove any IT development and integration for the client. No parallel site is needed and there are no ongoing maintenance headaches or labor intensive processes, because MotionPoint's proprietary tools dynamically keep all the multi-lingual sites in sync with each other. MotionPoint provides:
Professionally trained translators who specialize in healthcare
One-click feature that translates entire website into any language while preserving its look and feel
Seamless management of alternate language websites, regardless of additions and modifications
"Effective communication with diverse patient populations is an increasing challenge for hospitals nationwide," explains Gale Wilson-Steele, CEO of MedSeek. "There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to translation needs, as hospital requirements and resources vary from organization to organization. By working with MotionPoint, MedSeek can now offer our clients diverse website translation services. Our goal is to provide customers with best-of-breed solutions in all phases of content management and website development."
"We are pleased to be working with MedSeek to offer their hospital clients an easy, cost-effective way to reach out to multi-lingual patients online," said Will Fleming, president and CEO of MotionPoint. "As the Hispanic population in the United States continues to grow, hospitals now have a way to build stronger ties with those patients, making them feel welcomed and valued."
