platform


Explanation:
Depending on the context, it could mean what Owen suggests. If this is a technical term, it is a platform for maintenance work on a machine.
If this is a childcare term, it could be a Baby Station, where a baby is changed.

efficacy


Explanation:
Just noticed Spencer's additional information. This is just a guess.

"Efficacy refers to the potential maximum therapeutic response that a drug can produce. For example, the diuretic furosemide eliminates much more salt and water through urine than does the diuretic chlorothiazide . Thus, furosemide has greater efficacy than chlorothiazide. However, greater potency or efficacy does not necessarily mean that one drug is preferable to another. When judging the relative merits of drugs for a patient, doctors consider many factors, such as side effects, potential toxicity, duration of effect (which determines the number of doses needed each day), and cost."

Hoitotaso on hyvä, jos lääke/hoito auttaa eli on tehokasta. Jos lääke/hoito ei auta kyseiseen sairauteen, hoitotaso on huono.

or
balance of care, as in the link http://www.diabetes.fi/tiedoston_katsominen.php?dok_id=394

In good balance of care (HbA1c < 8 %) was every third child in the best unit and every sixth child in the unit with the poorest results.

Hyvä hoitotaso (verenpainetaso alle 140/85 mmHg)

Vuosittain yksi seurantakäynti lääkärillä ja kotimittausten toteutumisen mukaan 1-4 käyntiä hoitajalla

Kohtalainen hoitotaso (verenpainetaso 140/85 mmHg-159/99 mmHg)

Seurantakäynnit lääkärillä 6 kk:n ja hoitajalla 3 kk:n välein, kunnes hoitotasapaino hyvä ja elintavat ja muut vaaratekijät hallinnassa

Huono hoitotaso (verenpainetaso yli 160/100 mmHg)

Seurantakäynnit lääkärillä ja hoitajalla 1-3 kuukauden välein, kunnes hoitotasapaino on hyvä ja elintavat ja muut vaaratekijät hallinnassa

Erikoislääkärin konsultaatio, jos hoitotasapaino on kolmen lääkkeen yhdistelmästä huolimatta huono

Erittäin huono hoitotaso (verenpainetaso 180/110 mmHg)

therapeutic level


Explanation:
Therapeutic level is the amount of medicine that helps (as opposed to toxic level or the amount that can cause harm).

Therapeutic level is the level where the medication works most efficiently.

Example sentence(s):
  • Annoksen säätäminen saattaa olla välttämätöntä halutun hoitotason saavuttamiseksi terapeuttisessa ikkunassa 14–20 mg/l ja tiettyjen haittavaikutusten välttämiseksi (ks. kohta 4.2).
  • Dose adjustments may be necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic levels in the window between 14 and 20 mg/l and avoid specific adverse reactions (see section 4.2).
