Italian term

il percorso diagnostico terapeutico del paziente

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) assessing elements of hospital care
I have "patient’s course of diagnosis and treatment" at the moment, but feel there is probably a better word, especially for where 'il percorso' appears as a single term, a countable thing, or where there's a "reference 'percorso'" -
(percorso di riferimento) - "course" doesn't sound right (treatment course-?)

Discussion

Rachel Fell (asker) Jan 28, 2007:
Well, the term above (the Q) is just a heading - there's "Valorizzazione economica delle singole attività elementari che costituiscono il percorso diagnostico terapeutico del paziente all’interno di una struttura ospedaliera" and "obiettivo del percorso". I think plan/treatment plan/diagnosis & treatment plan are probably what I need. Thanks for interest!
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2007:
The full sentence or paragraph even. You can probably get away with just diagnosis and treatment.
Rachel Fell (asker) Jan 28, 2007:
Hello Jim: it's theoretical or potential rather than specific events - it's about financing, economics, etc.
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2007:
Can't you give the context of the Italian. If it is past then its history.

Proposed translations

Selected

diagnosis and treatment of the patient

Well, generally speaking there is often not a synonym for percorso in English. You have a course of treatment, a treatment plan even, but diagnosis, is just diagnosis, and comes before treatment.
So, Replace "percorso" with "diagnosis and treatment" di riferimento might be "standard diagnosis and treatment"

Having read the context, percorso in context is totally superfluous and to translate it would unnecessarily confuse the reader, in my humble opinion, of course. Thanks for the points :-)
