Case Study: Sutter Health achieves centralized translations and significant cost savings with TransPerfect

Sutter Health - Customer Case Study

Sutter Health, a leading not-for-profit network of community-based healthcare providers in Northern California, needed a language services partner to translate large volumes of graphic-heavy patient, clinical, legal and marketing materials into languages such as Chinese, Hmong, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Seeking to centralize its translation process and eliminate duplicate work, Sutter ran a rigorous selection process and engaged TransPerfect for comprehensive medical translation and multilingual desktop publishing services.

TransPerfect assembled a team of specialized medical linguists from its global network (4,000+ linguists), provided in-house desktop publishing to preserve formatting, and built a searchable document library so Sutter employees can check past translations before submitting new work. The solution centralized translations, improved cultural appropriateness, and generated significant cost savings by preventing duplicate translations, while TransPerfect continues to deliver ongoing translation, editing, proofreading and multilingual DTP support.
