An investigator read each vignette type to a simulated patient through 20 randomly selected QMIs (10 through telephone and 10 through video), all of whom were trained, proficiency-tested, and blinded to the study design, yielding 60 total interpretations. Data collected included interpretation method, English delivery speed (words per minute), and vignette complexity. One orthopaedic traumatologist and 1 bilingual physician assistant evaluated transcriptions of recorded QMI Spanish interpretations using a nonvalidated, criterion-referenced, expert-derived categorical assessment reflecting the degree to which an interpreter preserved the fidelity of the original vignette for patient ascertainment of diagnosis, treatment, risks, and prognosis, termed overall interpretation designation (OID). OID was classified, \u201cacceptable,\u201d \u201cborderline,\u201d or \u201cunacceptable.\u201d A second orthopaedist, blinded to the first 2 investigators' preliminary translation designations, independently evaluated disputed translations and adjudicated them to consensus OID.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 60 interpretations, 46.7% were designated acceptable, 18.3% as borderline, and 35.0% unacceptable.
