Section 1557 and National CLAS
Standards Compliance

Comply with Section 1557 and National CLAS Standards with Propio’s full suite of language services. Offering language assistance to individuals who have limited English proficiency will ensure patient equity and improve the continuum of care.

Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act

​​Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA): Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities tackles two vital issues for patient-centered care: language access for Limited English Proficient, deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind and visually impaired patients and gender identity discrimination.

National CLAS Standards

The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care (aka “The National CLAS Standards”) were developed by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, with a goal of helping to eliminate health care disparities for culturally and linguistically diverse patients. Closely aligned with Joint Commission Hospital Accreditation standards, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Executive Order 13166, implementing the National CLAS Standards in any health care environment is a pretty sure way to meet legal and accreditation standards for language access. The Section 1557 regulations, implementing the nondiscrimination provisions of the Affordable Care Act, borrow heavily from the National CLAS Standards.
