It also provides an overview of the healthcare communication issues with healthcare professionals and D/HH patients, and the advantages and disadvantages of using in-person interpreters vs. video remote interpreting (VRI). Due to technology development, hospital administrators have popularized the use of VRI and reduced the number of in-person interpreting services, which have negatively affected the quality of medical interpreting services and patient-provider communication. The COVID-19 pandemic also has accelerated the move toward more VRI, particularly in the US. The book addresses an understudied aspect of access and is written by an international deaf researcher from Japan who uses American Sign Language (ASL) and English as non-native languages. In order to identify appropriate interpreting services for specific treatments, the author focuses on healthcare professionals' and D/HH patients' interpreting preferences for critical and non-critical care in the US, and offers a new theoretical framework, an Ecology of Health Communication, to contextualize and analyze these preferences. The ecological matrix and its five analytical dimensions (i.e., physical-material, psychological, social, spatial, and temporal) allow readers to understand how these dimensions influence healthcare professionals' and D/HH patients' interpreting preferences as well as the treatment outcomes. This book concludes by prioritizing the use of an appropriate interpreter for specific treatments and allocating funds for in-person interpreters for critical care treatments. Deaf Rhetoric: An Ecology of Health Communication is primarily designed for healthcare professional students and professionals, hospital administrators, medical interpreters, VRI companies, and healthcare researchers. Scholars interested in the communication preferences of healthcare professionals and deaf people also will find this text useful. The book counters some of the power differences between healthcare providers and those who use medical services, and subtly reminds others that deaf people are not solely the receivers of medical care but actually are full people. The field of health care is growing and medical schools are increasingly called on to address cultural competencies; this resource provides a needed intervention. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Public Health,$x2192-3701 606 $aMedical care 606 $aCommunication in medicine 606 $aSign language 606 $aPublic health administration 606 $aPublic health 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xEducation 606 $aHealth Care 606 $aHealth Communication 606 $aSign Languages 606 $aHealth Administration 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aEducation and Disability 606 $aSords$2thub 606 $aAssistència sanitària$2thub 606 $aComunicació en medicina$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMedical care. 615 0$aCommunication in medicine. 615 0$aSign language. 615 0$aPublic health administration. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xEducation. 615 14$aHealth Care. 615 24$aHealth Communication. 615 24$aSign Languages. 615 24$aHealth Administration. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aEducation and Disability. 615 7$aSords 615 7$aAssistència sanitària 615 7$aComunicació en medicina 676 $a610.696 676 $a610.14 700 $aYabe$b Manako$01214238 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910552742703321 996 $aDeaf Rhetoric$92804005 997 $aUNINA
