Supporting Patient Education And Knowledge Act of 2023 or the SPEAK Act of 2023
This bill establishes the Improved Access to Health Care Information Technology for non-English Speakers Task Force.
The task force must assess any current barriers that limit the ability of non-English speakers to access telehealth services and recommend improvements (e.g., technological enhancements). The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must collect information from relevant stakeholders to inform the task force's assessments and recommendations.
HHS must establish a website with best practices for connecting non-English speakers with telehealth services, based on the task force's final report.
