French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Medical: Health Care
French term or phrase: processus d'exploitation
PROCESSUS D’EXPLOITATIONS : Description des processus du Service Client (admission du patient,, collecte et gestion des échantillons, distribution sur les stations de travail techniques, validation technique et biologique, édition de comptes-rendus et de statistiques etc.). Cette description est formalisée dans un document de Processus Clients qui sert de référence pour l’ensemble de l’équipe projet.

This document concerns a quality assurance plan for a laboratory management software for a hospital.

Would "operating process" work here? I want to make sure there's no confusion between "operating" in the generic sense and "operating" in the sense of surgery....

agree  philgoddard: Procedures is fine too. There's no ambiguity about operational - its meaning is clear from the context.

processes of the operations


Explanation:
The text refers to the respective operations, a, b, c,....
consequently, the point is not to qualify the nature of the processes, being operational or not.

agree  Daryo: by analogy with the tried and tested term: SOP = Standard Operating Procedure
4 hrs
  -> Thanks Daryo. Don't know about the "analogy". While ghit-counting is to be frowned upon, "operational procedures" gets over two million.

Healthcare operations management


Explanation:
What is described in the text is operations management. To distinguish it from the production of goods and services in any private company, I add the specification "Healthcare"

disagree  Daryo: in principle a good idea, but where do you see "Healthcare"? it's a about a laboratory analyzing samples ...
10 mins
  -> What are labs for? Isn't it this lab part of delivering healthcare?
neutral  Germaine: On parle de descriptifs de chacune des activités nommées. Je ne vois pas le mot "gestion".

disagree  Germaine: Certainement, sauf qu'ici, on ne parle pas de gestion, mais de simples descriptions (le mot revient!) destinées à l'ensemble de l'équipe.
