The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched a Spanish version of its QuestionBuilder app, which can help Hispanic patients prepare for their in-person or telehealth appointments. The HHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) built QuestionBuilder en Español to improve health care access and equity for Hispanics, who have among the highest uninsured rate of any racial or ethnic group within the United States.

AHRQ Acting Director David Meyers, MD said: “Given that most U.S. medical visits average 20 minutes or less, the app helps patients maximize the value of the time they have with their health care providers.”
