Slovak term

ordinoval

Slovak to English Medical Medical (general) clinical trial
The word appears as a stand-alone word in the following context:

Číslo účastníka:
Rodné číslo:
Návšteva:
Dátum odberu:
Čas odberu:
Diagnóza:
*Ordinoval*:
Oddelenie:

In the space after "Ordinoval", it says "PI name". In other words, it's the Principal Investigator who "ordinoval".
Does it mean the subject was "treated by" the PI, or just "seen by" (not necessarily treated)?
Or does it mean that the PI presided over the whole process (didn't necessarily see the patient personally)?

Discussion

If it is a laboratory requisition form, then it means that the PI ordered or requested the test

lepšie by bolo predpísal, samozrejme ale aj tak:

ordinovať nedok.

1. lekársky vyšetrovať a ošetrovať pacientov: dnes sa neo-je

2. určovať liečebný postup, predpisovať ako liek: o. kúpele, zábaly
Dylan Edwards (asker) Jul 20, 2022:
This type of form, incidentally, is called a laboratory requisition form.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Jul 20, 2022:
This is probably a translation from English and I'm not sure "ordinoval" is the best word to use in Slovak.
Dušan Ján Hlísta Jul 20, 2022:
Yes definitely (vyšetriť a predpísať)
Dylan Edwards (asker) Jul 20, 2022:
If it can be understood to mean "ordered by", does it mean that the PI ordered the sample?
Vladimír Hoffman Jul 20, 2022:
Ordinovať Slovo ordinovať môže mať aj význam:2. určovať liečebný postup, predpisovať ako liek: o. kúpele, zábaly
Čiže v tomto kontexte by Dušova odpoveď nižšie mohla vyhovovať. Aj keď by som asi volil miernejšie slovo, niečo ako ordered by.

Ordain je trochu príliš silné.

Selected

treating physician

Another option that fits the context. The meaning of the term suggests that the PI would be present at the visit and supervise the collection of samples, and would likely have a direct interaction with the patient. It does not mean that they ordered the collection of samples - the collection of samples and the visits when it's done is determined by the study design, not by the PI. "Seen by" also sounds as a good option, as it suggests the PI was physically present at the visit.
Note from asker:
Thank you, Jan. After consulting the client, I settled on "seen by" as the best option to use here.
