Objective: This study aims to evaluate the usage and implementation of video remote (VR) interpreting and telephone remote (TR) interpreting in primary healthcare settings.
Design: This publication forms part of a larger three-pronged study in which we compared both remote interpreting modalities to each other and to a control group. This paper conveys the findings of the qualitative evaluation of the implementation and usage of both remote interpreting solutions.
Article Synopsis
- * The first outbreak involved a non-variant of concern strain linked to a superspreading event, while the second outbreak was caused by the Alpha variant (B.1.1.7), both originating from childcare workers, with children playing a significant role in transmitting the virus to households.

Article Synopsis
- Global migration is increasing diversity in healthcare, shifting focus from medical paternalism to patient autonomy, highlighting the need for effective communication tools like video and telephone interpreting.
- A study in Hamburg compared video remote interpreting (VR) and telephone remote interpreting (TR) in primary care, assessing feasibility, acceptance, and communication quality among patients and physicians.
- Findings revealed that although VR was more effective in enhancing communication than the control group, both VR and TR were underutilized, reflecting a gap between the expected demand for interpreting services and actual implementation in practice.

During the time of increased in-migration of asylum seekers to Germany in 2015 and 2016, different models of healthcare provision were established in reception centres, often on an ad hoc basis and influenced by local actors. The goal of this study was to map different care models and identify challenges in the implementation of effective and needs-based health service structures.Data was generated through 13 semi-structured interviews and in an interactive workshop with group discussions.

Design: Retrospective longitudinal observational study.
Setting: The study was based on routine data from a walk-in clinic in the largest central first reception centre in Hamburg, Germany between 4 November 2015 and 21 July 2016.
