It’s important to ensure that the translated text in the field of health care is effectively tested with clinical review or cognitive debriefing in the target population to evaluate the efficiency of the trial and overall patient experience.
What is Linguistic Validation?
Linguistic validation is a comprehensive process involving Linguistic Services that ensures that the translated documents carry the same meaning and intent as the original text in fields of clinical trials, Patient Reported Outcomes PRO and assessments. It is structured to deliver Clinical Outcome Assessment COA Translations that are linguistically correct and culturally and conceptually accurate; so that the trial can capture the patient’s responses with accuracy. This includes forward translation, back translation, reconciliation, Proofreading and Editing Services and cognitive debriefing with the native speakers by continuously testing translations with target demographic. Linguistic validation makes sure that the content is understandable and appropriate.
What is the Need for Linguistic Validation?
Culturally relevant and accurate translations are an absolute necessity in the field of health care as it is directly responsible with the outcomes of the clinical research and patient care. Without linguistic validation there is a high risk of misinterpretation leading to inaccuracy in data collection, noncompliance with regulatory standards, non reliability of data and compromised patient safety. Some key needs for linguistic validation are:-
1. Ensures Uniformity
Linguistic validation ensures that translations carry the same meaning as mentioned in the original text. This becomes essential for accurate data collection and patient communication. Reliable translations also boosts confidence of regulatory bodies, and research partners.
2. Improves Clinical Outcome Assessment
Linguistic validation enhances data integrity by certifying the reliability of multilingual studies across different languages and cultures. This produces reliable Clinical Outcome Assessment, which is a measure that reflects how a patient feels and functions.
3. Improves Awareness and Safety
When patients receive Accurate Translations in a language that they understand, they can better comprehend the medical instructions and treatment plans. This results in enhancing their safety, awareness and adherence to required protocols.
