Stratus Video

What Stratus Video does

Stratus Video is a healthcare-focused language access company that provides medical interpretation services across video, audio, and in-person modalities. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, the company operates as part of AMN Healthcare's Language Services division, a unit of publicly traded AMN Healthcare (NYSE: AMN). Stratus Video serves hospitals, health systems, and healthcare facilities serving patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) as well as Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients, delivering services in over 300 languages.

The company's core platform comprises Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), Over-the-Phone Interpreting, In-Person Interpreting, Telehealth Interpreting, Document Translation, and a Strategic Partnerships advisory line. Its technology stack is a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type 2-audited cloud platform with deep native integrations into Epic EHR (three workflows: Launch, Session Code, and Video Visits), as well as Caregility and Zoom telehealth platforms. These integrations allow clinicians to launch interpretation sessions directly from patient charts and automatically document language access activity.

Commercially, Stratus Video operates an enterprise field sales model targeting C-Suite, VP, Director, and Manager-level buyers at healthcare organizations. Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based per-minute pricing for interpretation services across all modalities, supplemented by technology platform licensing for EHR integration. Named customers include Texas Children's Hospital and Onvida Health. The company has grown through three disclosed acquisitions between 2014 and 2019 (Capiche, Optimal Phone Interpreters, InDemand Interpreting).

Brands

• Stratus Video: Video remote interpreting services platform offered by AMN Healthcare Language Services

Products and services

• Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) On-demand video connection between a clinician and a qualified medical interpreter, delivered through the Stratus Video platform and integrated into the hospital's EHR or telehealth workflow. Designed for inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and ambulatory encounters with limited-English-proficient or Deaf/HoH patients.
• Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI) Audio-only interpretation delivered over a phone line, used when video is impractical or unavailable. Serves the same clinical interpretation use cases as VRI for healthcare organizations that need rapid, low-friction language access.
• In-Person Interpreting On-site medical interpreter staffed at the healthcare facility for scheduled encounters, high-acuity situations, or cases where remote modalities are not appropriate. Targeted at hospitals and clinics that require physical interpreter presence.
• Document Translation Translation of patient-facing healthcare documents (consent forms, discharge instructions, patient education, signage, and digital content) into the languages served by Stratus Video's interpretation network. Sold to healthcare organizations with multilingual patient communication requirements.
• Strategic Partnerships (Compliance & Best Practice Advisory) Advisory engagement offering compliance and best-practice guidance on language access programs, with the stated goal of increasing efficiency and improving patient outcomes for healthcare organizations. Sold as a standalone advisory service to healthcare provider clients.
