A Language Identification Tool has been implemented throughout hospital's emergency departments to quickly identify what language a person is speaking. The tool is a sheet of paper, along with a statement under each flag that said ‘I speak…’ and then the name of the language that is spoken in the country that corresponds to the flag.
