Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / IT equipment for a hospital
Dutch term or phrase: politheek
Opname/ontslag –en poliklinische medicaties worden via elektronisch berichtenverkeer uitgewisseld met de stadsapotheek cq. de politheek.

Would politheek be something along the lines of an "outpatient pharmacy"? This seems to be a unique Dutch concept as I can't find an equivalent in English (or I just don't know where to look).

hosiptal outpatient pharmacy
Explanation:
The city hospiital where I grew up (USA) had a hospital pharmacy, for outpatients, and I suppose they were fairly common at the time. Whether they still are I can't say.

Judging from what I see with googling, it's actually a relatively new development in NL.

"politheek"


Explanation:
Politheek is a recent invention. Even the word is invented, probably contracted from ‘polikliniek’ (=kliniek voor alles) and ‘apotheek’. I'd probably not translate it: "politheek" or Anglicize it to "polithecary." The abbreviation c.q. is used incorrectly, by the way. It should simply read 'of.'

Explanation:

Googled:
POLYCLINIC PHARMACY INC. Prosthetics. (217)446-3784. 622 N LOGAN AVE ...
Polyclinic Pharmacy Inc in Local Facilities
... talk to athletes in the Melbourne Games polyclinic pharmacy ...
I did not get better after taking the cough and cold medicine dispensed by the polyclinic pharmacy.
And also one translation "policlinical pharmacy" Dutch to English.
