Greek term
εξειδίκευση
Greek to English
Medical
Medical (general)
implementation of guidelines
Yes, of course I know what it means as a rule, but I'm having trouble figuring out the sense in this context.
Έχει γίνει εξειδίκευση του προγράμματος καθώς και των κατευθυντήριων οδηγιών στις περισσότερες περιοχές της χώρας.
It refers to a programme for improving compliance with European guidelines regarding a particular kind of treatment. The text is describing the organisational infrastructure of the programme. If my understanding is correct, the above sentence is talking about such things as translating relevant instructions and other documents into Greek and distributing them to centres around the country, making sure the medical staff concerned are aware of what is going on.
Even if I have understood it correctly, I can't find an English word that expresses the right meaning. Can anybody help?

Note from asker:
| Thanks Ioanna. I thought of localisation, but the problem is that localise has other, better known meanings in the medical world. For example "localised infection", "localisation of myocardial perfusion defects". If I was writing for an IT publication I wouldn't look any further, but I'm concerned that a reader of a medical journal will not understand, or will at least have to stop and think. |
