instelbaar

English translation: can be set/configurable

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Dutch term or phrase: instelbaar
instelbaar voor kliniek en polikliniek.

Further in the text: afdeling/specialisme instelbaar welke interacties/contra-indicaties getoond worden. (bv. kinderafdeling t.o.v. volwassenenafdeling. Volledig instelbaar welke bewaking je aan eigen artikelen hangt. (kopieëren.

Ok, further on it talks about "adjusting the settings".
But in the first sentence " instelbaar voor kliniek en polikliniek" is it actually that it is adaptable as a system for these institutions?

Explanation:
I don't see why you can't just use adjustable in this sentence.

to be consistent with "adjusting the settings".
