PRINTHUMAN ANATOMY ILLUSTRATIVE GUIDE &MEDICAL TERMINOLOGYENGLISH/SPANISHVERSION 1Developed by: Cultural and Linguistic ServicesDepartmentCopyright 2004 L.A. Care Health PlanPermission granted to adapt by LA Care Health Plan
IntroductionThe Human Anatomy Illustrative Guide and Medical Terminology was developed out of a need that wasidentified through our training programs on health care interpreting and instructing clinical staffon how to work with an interpreter. We heard from bilingual/multilingual staff that they neededtools that would help them communicate with limited English proficient (LEP) patients. Fromour evaluative work, we also understood that some bilingual/multilingual staff also needed toknow human anatomy terms in English as well as the target language. In our mission to close thelanguage gap, we developed the bilingual anatomy chart that includes human anatomical charts,medical terms, and frequently asked questions by doctors during their interactions with patients,in Los Angeles County’s ten threshold languages (Armenian, Chinese, English, Farsi, Khmer,Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese).Communication is a critical link to patient safety, quality of care, access to needed health careservices, and patient satisfaction. The rapid changes that occur in health care settings createmany challenges and opportunities to develop innovative ways of communicating with patients,particularly with linguistically diverse patient population. This resource is in alignment with L.A.Care’s over arching mission which is:“To ensure the provision of culturally sensitive and linguistically competent quality health care services to the MedCal population in Los Angeles County through the Safety Net Providers and our health partners, to promotehealth and disease prevention, to continuously improve the knowledge and effectiveness of our provider community,and to assist in the provision of the same quality of services for the vulnerable populations.”L.A. Care wishes to acknowledge all those that have contributed to the development of thisguide. First and foremost, we must thank The Cross Cultural Health Care Program for allowingus to use the illustrations from the “Bridging the Gap” interpreter’s handbook. SarkisSemerdjyan, Fatima Rodriguez and Elizabeth Nguyen were key staff members of the Culturaland Linguistic Services Department at L.A.

We also would like to thank the Marketing Department, Young Chi inparticular, for her assistance with the layout of the guide.Together in Health,Beatriz M.
