French term (edited): le dossier patient communiquant

Hello,

First, there is another possible spelling, which is "communicant".
Second, there seems to a be slight distinction made between "communiquant" and "partagé", even though both are very related.

communicant = readily communicated (imho)

Clear and communicable records are needed. Implementation and operation of a sound environmental management system can facilitate this. ...

I must say that "the communicable patient records" sounds awkward in English.



I hope this helps.

The stated aim of this book "is to prepare a guide for practicing physicians in an
ambulatory care setting who would like to improve their practices . . . through the
implementation of a modern computer/communications technology." This book is
written clearly, well produced, with ample and clear illustrations. However, this
primer cannot be recommended without reservation.
Physicians unfamiliar with the jargon, technical history, and basic concepts of
computer-based medical information systems will find the applicable chapters of the
primer a useful initiation. Those who seek a method of analyzing their practices and
determining how computers might be applied in their own situations will find these
areas covered with superficial broad generalizations.
Poor personnel management, poor organization, and dysfunctional medical
records are the major problems of private practice, according to the authors.
However, computers are not a solution for practices riddled with these problems, and
a fault of this primer is the weakness of the warning that computers cannot cure these
maladies. In fact, the presumptuous message that "computer aided medical information systems are not so much technology as a well-organized body of knowledge
which will enable doctors to do things correctly" may point some to the opposite
conclusion.
It is unfortunate that the entire primer is not as excellent as the chapter on modular
systems. The capability of computer systems to reduce redundant paper work,
expedite billing and accounting, and integrate these functions with medical records is
highlighted. In addition, there are glimpses into the future use of computers to
maintain *highly communicable patient records*, manipulate and analyze patient data,
and aid in quality control and continuing education.
