Use VRI only when unable to secure the services of an onsite qualified interpreter.
The NAD recognizes that VRI services are a valuable back up communication tool which has the potential to ensure that no deaf person will ever be without communication access in the medical setting. Nevertheless, due to the limitations of VRI, the NAD recommends that hospitals provide VRI services only when they are unable to secure the services of on-site qualified interpreters.
