Spanish term

adecuación de la demanda

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) laboratory medicine
This is in the context of issuing lab reports with interpretive comments. In this case, the report contains comments with "recomendaciones sobre la adecuación de la posología de los fármacos y la solicitud de nuevos niveles plasmáticos (*adecuación de la demanda*)..." I haven't been able to find anything satisfactory on Google so far in this context, so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

BTW, I am sticking with "appropriateness", due to all the research :)

Hi, I think you are right about "request"...I got distracted by the other answers.....http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sugexp=gsqvh&xhr=t&q=demanda ...
Biomed Sci (asker) May 12, 2011:
Does anyone think "request" might work instead of "demand" in this context? For example, "appropriateness of the request" has over a million hits in a lab context. Or perhaps "adjustment/adaptation of the request", since in this case recommendations may be given in the report to modify the dosage regimen?? Make sense to anybody?

balancing the supply and demand

This is my reading: "adecuación" is referring to adjusting the supply to meet the demand to "la solicitud de nuevos niveles plasmáticos"
