Federal and State Law Regarding Linguistic Access and Services for Limited English Proficient Persons

I. Purpose. This document is intended to satisfy the requirements set forth in California Business and Professions code 2190.1. California law requires physicians to obtain training in cultural and linguistic competency as part of their continuing medical education programs. This document and the attachments are intended to provide physicians with an overview of federal and state laws regarding linguistic access and services for limited English proficient (“LEP”) persons. Other federal and state laws not reviewed below also may govern the manner in which physicians and healthcare providers render services for disabled, hearing impaired or other protected categories

II. Federal Law – Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166, August 11, 2000, and Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Regulations and LEP Guidance. The Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and HHS regulations require recipients of federal financial assistance (“Recipients”) to take reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to federally funded programs and services. Failure to provide LEP individuals with access to federally funded programs and services may constitute national origin discrimination, which may be remedied by federal agency enforcement action. Recipients may include physicians, hospitals, universities and academic medical centers who receive grants, training, equipment, surplus property and other assistance from the federal government.

HHS recently issued revised guidance documents for Recipients to ensure that they understand their obligations to provide language assistance services to LEP persons. A copy of HHS’s summary document entitled “Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI and the Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons – Summary” is available at HHS’s website at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/lep/ .

As noted above, Recipients generally must provide meaningful access to their programs and services for LEP persons. The rule, however, is a flexible one and HHS recognizes that “reasonable steps” may differ depending on the Recipient’s size and scope of services. HHS advised that Recipients, in designing an LEP program, should conduct an individualized assessment balancing four factors, including: (i) the number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by the Recipient; (ii) the frequency with which LEP individuals come into contact with the Recipient’s program; (iii) the nature and importance of the program, activity or service provided by the Recipient to its beneficiaries; and (iv) the resources available to the Recipient and the costs of interpreting and translation services.

Based on the Recipient’s analysis, the Recipient should then design an LEP plan based on five recommended steps, including: (i) identifying LEP individuals who may need assistance; (ii) identifying language assistance measures; (iii) training staff; (iv) providing notice to LEP persons; and (v) monitoring and updating the LEP plan.

A Recipient’s LEP plan likely will include translating vital documents and providing either on-site interpreters or telephone interpreter services, or using shared interpreting services with other Recipients. Recipients may take other reasonable steps depending

on the emergent or non-emergent needs of the LEP individual, such as hiring bilingual staff who are competent in the skills required for medical translation, hiring staff interpreters, or contracting with outside public or private agencies that provide interpreter services. HHS’s guidance provides detailed examples of the mix of services that a Recipient should consider and implement. HHS’s guidance also establishes a “safe harbor” that Recipients may elect to follow when determining whether vital documents must be translated into other languages. Compliance with the safe harbor will be strong evidence that the Recipient has satisfied its written translation obligations.

In addition to reviewing HHS guidance documents, Recipients may contact HHS’s Office for Civil Rights for technical assistance in establishing a reasonable LEP plan.

III. California Law – Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act. The California legislature enacted the California’s Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act (Govt. Code 7290 et seq.) in order to ensure that California residents would appropriately receive services from public agencies regardless of the person’s English language skills. California Government Code section 7291 recites this legislative intent as follows:

“The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the effective maintenance and development of a free and democratic society depends on the right and ability of its citizens and residents to communicate with their government and the right and ability of the government to communicate with them.

The Legislature further finds and declares that substantial numbers of persons who live, work and pay taxes in this state are unable, either because they do not speak or write English at all, or because their primary language is other than English, effectively to communicate with their government. The Legislature further finds and declares that state and local agency employees frequently are unable to communicate with persons requiring their services because of this language barrier. As a consequence, substantial numbers of persons presently are being denied rights and benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled.

It is the intention of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to provide for effective communication between all levels of government in this state and the people of this state who are precluded from utilizing public services because of language barriers.”

The Act generally requires state and local public agencies to provide interpreter and written document translation services in a manner that will ensure that LEP individuals have access to important government services. Agencies may employ bilingual staff, and translate documents into additional languages representing the clientele served by the agency. Public agencies also must conduct a needs assessment survey every two years documenting the items listed in Government Code section 7299.4, and develop an implementation plan every year that documents compliance with the Act.

Delay in Diagnosing Nonsecretory Adenomas Race and age both increase duration of visual Lowers Chance of Surgery Correcting Vision symptoms, reducing postop improvement

• Elderly patients tend to have a greater delay from onset of visual symptoms to adenoma diagnosis (over 6 months compared to 2 months in younger patients). 100 • Elderly patients often due to not seeking care or being diagnosed with other conditions (cataracts, retinopathy, glaucoma). • Unfortunately elderly patients with prolonged duration of visual symptoms are 10 unlikely to return to baseline vision after surgery (months) 60% Duration of 1

• The extreme form of vision loss in adenoma patients is apoplexy. • Apoplexy lowers chances of 1. Introduction postoperative visual improvement 2. Visual Outcomes after Pituitary Surgery (81% in non-apoplexy cases, 3. Endocrine Outcomes after Pituitary Surgery 53% in apoplexy cases at UCSF 2003-2012). 4. Headache Outcomes after Pituitary Surgery • Apoplexy patients were more likely to lack insurance and primary care and in retrospect had symptoms that could have led to the diagnosis of adenoma before apoplexy if they had access to care.

Hypopituitarism assessment and confirmation Predicting incidence of deficits by axis based of central (pituitary) source on anatomy/susceptibility

Hypothalamic Some theorize that differential robustness of cells in the hormones normal pituitary gland leads to a growing adenoma causing endocrine deficits in the following sequence: (1) growth hormone, (2) LH/FSH, (3) thyroid, and (4) cortisol.

Anterior pituitary hormones

Downstream organ Nature Reviews Cancer 4: 285, 2004 hormones

Need to confirm deficiency in downstream hormone and the pituitary hormone to confirm that the deficiency is central (pituitary) rather than at the level of the downstream gland (thyroid, adrenal, etc.)

Page 5 Variables associated with Preoperative Hypopituitarism by Axis –Real Incidences Pituitary Deficits • Rates of preoperative central hormonal deficits at UCSF 2007-2012 for • Patients with preoperative endocrine deficit(s) 1015 cases, 305 nonfunctional adenomas. Every patient had some endocrine evaluation but some patients had incomplete evaluations: were

50% – older (mean age=60 vs. 54 years; P=0.004) – More male (64% male vs. 36% female; P=0.0005), 40% All cases Nonfunctional adenomas – Had larger NFAs (mean diameter=2.4 cm vs. 2.1 cm; 30% P=0.02) 20% • Effect of size on specific axes: size correlated 10% with male/female hypogonadism but not with low 0% Male reproductive Female reproductive Growth hormone Cortisol Thyroid axis thyroid, GH/IGF-1, or cortisol.

First clear description of Diabetes Insipidus in 1792 Diabetes Insipidus A French woman had suffered from “a burning thirst” since birth. Lewis S. Blevins, Jr., M.D. At the age of three she consumed two buckets of water per day. She ran away from home because of “the ill treatment this disposition occasioned her to experience from her parents”. When examined in Paris in 1791 she was in good health and had given birth to ten children. She continued to drink great quantities of water. The other patient was an English laborer who after a long febrile disease developed thirst and polyuria at the age of 31. Twenty-four years later he was still drinking 20–25 l per day but otherwise in perfect health. It is difficult to doubt that both patients suffered from diabetes insipidus— though less clear of which type.

Adenoma: T1 signal Adenoma: Enhancement

• Usually same or slightly lower signal than gland • Almost all lower signal than enhanced gland • High T1 signal if hemorrhagic (typical of prolactinoma) • May have higher signal after 30-45” delay • Contour deformity +/-

Macroadenoma

• Vision changes, hypopituitarism • > 10 mm • “Giant” adenoma if > 4 cm • May grow in any of 6 directions Superiorly (suprasellar) - 80% of cases Laterally (cavenous sinuses) Adenoma: T2 signal Anteriorly & inferiorly (sphenoid) Posteriorly (clivus) • Usually same or slightly higher than gland (“soft”) • Important observations • Less commonly lower than gland (“firm”) Hemorrhage • Higher T2 = higher secretion Optic chiasm T2 signal 80% PRL tumors have high T2 signal Cavernous sinus invasion 40-60% GH tumors have low T2 signal T1 Signal T2 Signal

• Heterogeneous, typically ~ gray matter • Highly variable - often heterogeneous, cysts and necrosis • High T1 signal implies hemorrhage or another lesion • Hemorrhage Can have any T2 signal Fluid levels helpful feature for diagnosis If hemorrhage suspected, confirm with GRE or CT

Overview Normal pituitary development • The hypophysis is an amalgam of two tissues. Early in 1. Pituitary development gestation (3-4 weeks), a finger of ectoderm called Rathke's 2. Rathke’s cleft cysts vs. Craniopharyngioma – pouch grows up from the stomodeum (roof of the mouth), eventually developing into the anterior pituitary or histology and genetic origin adenohypophysis. 3. Rathke’s cleft cyst – management and risk • At the same time, another finger of ectodermal tissue factors for recurrence evaginates from the diencephalon of the developing brain, 4. Craniopharyngioma – management and risk becoming the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis. factors for recurrence • Ultimately, the two tissues grow into one another and become tightly apposed, but their structure remains 5. Cases distinctly different. Rathke’s Cleft Cysts vs. Spectrum Part One – The Craniopharyngioma Epithelial Pathologic Spectrum • Rathke’s cleft cysts (RCCs) are benign cystic Rathke Rathke Craniopharyngioma lesions of the sellar region which arise from the Single layer Squamous Stratified squamous embryonic remnants of Rathke’s pouch of ciliated – Typically, they are lined by a single layer of ciliated cuboidal or metaplasia. epithelium cuboidal or columnar epithelium. columnar epithelium. • Craniopharyngiomas originate from the ectopic embryonic remnants of the craniopharyngeal duct which connects the stomodeum with the Rathke’s pouch. – The papillary subtype, usually found in adults, is characterized by stratified squamous epithelium – the adamantinomatous subtype, more common in children, typically has stratified squamous epithelial nests separated by stellate reticulum.

Distinct genetic origins Rathke’s Cleft Cysts • Incidence – 13-22% of autopsies • Could craniopharyngiomas ever arise from • Symptoms – headache (60%) most common; 35- Rathke’s with squamous metaplasia? 50% hormonal dysfunction; 20-50% visual • Seems unlikely because distinct clonal mutations disturbance have been identified in CTNNB1 (β-catenin) in •MRI – nearly all adamantinomatous 1. T1 dark, T2 bright – fluid like CSF craniopharyngiomas and in BRAF in all papillary 2. T1 bright, T2 variable – fluid is mucus, higher rate of craniopharyngiomas, while no mutations have presenting with h/a (100%) or gland dysfunction (40%); higher rate of postop DI than adenomas been found in the cellular lining of a Rathke’s cleft 3.

Conclusions The future is now • The histologic and radiographic overlap of Rathke’s cleft cysts and craniopharyngiomas is not indicative of a continuous spectrum because of their distinct tissue origins and distinct genetics. • Incidentally found Rathke’s cleft cysts wthout mass effect can be observed but radiographic overlap with craniopharyngioma underscores the importance of making sure patient is not lost to follow up. • Numerous factors can increase Rathke’s cleft cyst recurrence rates, but overall recurrence rate is low with pro-active strategies (attempting GTR for suprasellar Rathke’s, being cognizant of infected Rathke’s) • ALLIANCE sponsored clinical trial of BRAF • STR and lack of radiation in setting of STR increase inhibitor for recurrent papillary craniopharyngioma recurrence. craniopharyngioma opening later this month.
