Discussion

Colin Bowles (asker) Jun 3, 2022:
Making a choice Difficult choice to make. In a way all the suggestions work. Phil's suggestion is definitely used and teleconsultation seems also to be used to mean (among other things) an online consultation between physicians. And in fact this suggestion was first made by Barbara. So that puts me in a quandary...Suggestions as to how to resolve this fairly?
philgoddard May 30, 2022:
It says "a troca de informações e opiniões ENTRE MÉDICOS". Teleconsultation is wrong in my opinion, since it usually refers to patient-doctor consultations.
Colin Bowles (asker) May 29, 2022:
In fairness to Barbara, she did suggest teleconsultation originally and I, perhaps incorrectly, turned it down. The thing is the author uses "teleinterconsulta" to refer specifically to a patient consultation where there is a remote specialist guiding a resident who is in the same room as the patient. So it may be that the simplest solution is indeed "teleconsultation" and the surrounding text can then make it clear exactly what is meant. I believe the term "interprofessional internet consultation" corresponds very specifically to a doctor-to-doctor consultation and, while clearly correct according to the sites I and Phil Goddard found, does not quite work in my context.
Barbara Cochran, MFA May 29, 2022:

Well, you would know what you need better than anyone else. But since you originally posted the same link as you have just now, I decided that you must have been looking for something that might be less verbose (based on your actual one-term question), and that means the same thing. Even one of phil's links mentioned the audio-video technology that is involved. One of my literary clients, who told me I was his favorite translator, was originally from Brazil, and I've translated 2 other books from Portuguese. So I think I "understand" Portuguese quite well, unlike what, well., huh, huh, hah... Have a good afternoon.
Colin Bowles (asker) May 29, 2022:
Phil's suggestion seems to be the same as the one I came up with on this site: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/nlg-blog/reimbursement-interprofes...
Colin Bowles (asker) May 29, 2022:
teleinterconsulta So far, the best I have come up with is "interprofessional internet consultation", defined here: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/nlg-blog/reimbursement-interprofes...

neutral philgoddard : I've already said this. And it's important to make a distinction between doctor/doctor and doctor/patient.

neutral Barbara Cochran, MFA : I was the one who originally offered this translation to the asker, incl. before goddard, but he turned it down. Those are the two reasons I am putting a neutral here. Did you read about that in a comment I wrote a while ago? But your last ref looks OK.

inter-professional internet consultation

Or inter-practitioner, or teleconsultation. For once, I think Portuguese is more concise than English.

Online digital visits and/or brief check-in services, including verbal/audio-only check-ins. Inter-professional internet consultations.

You could also go with teleinterconsult, obviously, which is a translation and doesn't get many hits, but is easily understandable.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Barbara Cochran, MFA : Irrelevant research/links, esp. since I see no reference in the asker's context related to dental care. More likely to be part of medical contexts that are general in nature./BTW, the asker previously shared with me that it's NOT "teleconsultation".

Reference:

'teleconsultation' or 'remote consultation'

From my alma mater, the American Regional office of the World Health Organization:

Teleconsultations: an essential tool for use during a pandemic
In situations where a pandemic is declared, the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty can overwhelm people, and health systems can struggle to cope with an uncontrolled and exponential demand. Without appropriate planning and mitigation measures, health services can be exposed to the risk of collapse caused by an inundation of queries that could be serviced by virtual means. Health facilities may become overwhelmed and have insufficient capacity to provide adequate treatment to those most in need of care. Teleconsultations are a safe and effective way to assess suspected cases and guide the patient’s diagnosis and treatment, minimizing the risk of disease transmission. These teleconsultations enable many of the key clinical services to continue to operate regularly and uninterrupted, both in preparation for and in the course of a public health emergency.

What is teleconsultation?
Teleconsultation, sometimes referred to as remote consultation or telehealth, refers to interactions that happen between a clinician and a patient for the purpose of providing diagnostic or therapeutic advice through electronic means.
