Swedish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care
Swedish term or phrase: rekvirera läkemedel
In a procurement document describing a future healthcare system.

A distinction is made between rekvirera and förskriva.
So far as I can tell, these are both usually translated as prescribe, but there is evidently a difference.

Information i systemet:
Aktuell läkemedelslista (innehållande aktuella och framtida ordinationer både för förskrivning och rekvisition)
...
Historiska läkemedelsordinationer (både för förskrivning och rekvisition)

Example sentence(s):
  • Rekvisitionsläkemedel är sådana läkemedel som köps in av vårdgivaren och ges direkt till patienten. De är vanligast inom den vård som bedrivs på sjukhus.
  • Länets sjukvård ska därför följa dessa anvisningar när valsituationer uppstår om ett läkemedel ska ordineras via receptförskrivning till patient eller via rekvisition till vårdenheten.
