He is now T.S.T.H. " How will you establish the correct treatment plan if you can not understand the diagnostic? The BBC repported that 5% of medical errors were related to abbreviations in the file that were not understood. The inter-juge accor for an abbreviation in non-medical health professional is only 30 to 63%. Enough to create a lot of confusion and mistakes. This App will help you understand the medical abbreviations in English, but also their French, Spanish, German, Polish, Russian and Dutch version.
