Chapter 1: The Importance of Learning Medical Terms
Medical terminology is the language used by medical professionals worldwide. It is universal to the medical and healthcare industry as it helps providers to completely understand what help a patient needs, or what is happening to the patient. It is important for nurses, doctors, other medical professionals, and medical students to be familiar with this language. Nowadays, with new medical professionals entering the industry, such as medical coders or transcriptionists and medical billers, learning medical terms is even more important. There is a high risk of improper management due to miscommunication between medical workers and patients, which can occur if workers do not know or use the correct medical terms.
At home or in clinics, knowing the right medical terms can prevent confusion and panic. Individuals who are familiar with medical terms can better understand their doctor and other medical professionals, especially in cases where medical procedures are required. In schools or universities, a better knowledge of medical terms can help students pass their exams.
In hospitals and in the medical field in general, medical terms make clinical proceedings easier because medical professionals can understand each others jargon. This works better for the patients benefit, as it allows every person involved in the process of care to carry out their duties more efficiently.
Doctors often use different medical terms interchangeably. Depending on the context and situation, the terms could have different definitions.
