Ellen Kraus Austria 13:37 Aug 7, 2008  Have carefully read the examples listed by you to come to the conclusion that inappropriate prescribing is something entirely different. It has nothing to do with the purpose of enhancing the yields of pharmacists or medical doctors.This was at least what Ellen Kraus Austria 13:27 Aug 7, 2008  Thank you for shedding light on this matter.I have come across similar comments before. Don´t you think that something should be done about it? After all face loss is involved not only for Proz but for all of us. As to complacency prescriptions, I will re Sarah Russell United Kingdom ASKER 11:30 Aug 7, 2008  Indeed, my question is along those lines. I am just wondering whether there is a set term for "prescription de complaisance". Thanks for looking at this. blavatsky 11:26 Aug 7, 2008  Is the question "those who have a history of knowingly prescribing drugs of high risk through complacency" will be imprisoned or fined ?

complacency prescriptions Explanation: that ought to be the corresponding term in English . Complacency prescriptions designed to increase the turnover.	Ellen Kraus Austria Local time: 09:41 Specializes in field Native speaker of: German PRO pts in category: 60
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) disagree  :::::::::: (X): Sorry this does not exist in English Ellen 37 mins   -> I was of the same opinion, but then I consulted KudoZ glossary to find this expression. Would like to hear your comments disagree  Tony M: Nothing to do with 'complacency', this is about doing it to suit the patient (cf. flag / marriage of convenience) / 'complacency' is much narrower, just one of all the possible senses of 'complaisance' in FR 1 hr   -> this implies that complaisance and complacency are different notions. Why don´t you suggest the correct term? As a rule one contradicts if one has something better to offer.

inappropriate prescribing Explanation: Another set of issues which deserves attention is inappropriate prescribing. Seniors are more likely to receive prescriptions for medication that are potentially inappropriate; 11% to 46% of seniors receive at least one inappropriate prescription per year9,68-78. Inappropriate prescriptions include drugs that are relatively contraindicated by virtue of co-existing disease (drug-disease contraindications), by other drugs in an individual's treatment regimen (drug-drug interaction, therapeutic duplication), by age (drugs contraindicated in older persons) or by treatment duration (excess duration). Prescribing errors account for approximately 19% to 36% of drug-related hospital admissions79,80. The co-existence of multiple prescribing physicians, the number of drugs currently in the market (over 24,000), the number of relative contraindications documented (over 33,000) and deficiencies in physician knowledge related to both age and training are important contributors to the risk of inappropriate prescriptions81-83.

Notes to answerer Asker: Dr Jones, I wanted to thank you very much for your input and the many reference websites you provided. However, I will close this question without grading, simply because I feel that Tony M has a good point drugs being prescribed for illegitimate purposes so would rather leave each translator to make up their own mind depending on their context. Thanks again for your help.
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  lexeme 37 mins   -> merci neutral  ormiston: may I timidly just check something, although I respect your suggestion - to me 'complaisance' includes the notion of a prescription delivered at the instigation of the patient, presumably often inappropriate and unsafe, but perhaps not always 46 mins   -> no both patient and doctor disagree  Tony M: Yes, whether or not it is 'inappropriate' is not the key issue; this is about prescribing drugs that are not needed for medical reasons, just to oblige the patient. / Not in the examples you cite. 1 hr   -> that's what inappropriate means ; don't understand your weird remark T

patient- driven prescriptions Explanation: or delivered at the instigation of the patient. Ellen's comment has given me a little more confidence La prescription de complaisance est un autre sujet qui mérite qu'on s'y arrête. Les personnes âgées sont plus susceptibles de se faire prescrire des médicaments probablement non indiqués ; 11 à 46 % d'entre elles reçoivent au moins une ordonnance non indiquée par année9, 68-78. Dans les prescriptions de complaisance nous incluons les médicaments qui sont plus ou moins contre-indiqués en raison d'une maladie concomitante (contre-indication médicament-maladie), en raison de la présence d'un médicament dans le régime médicamenteux (interaction médicament-médicament, médicament qui fait double emploi), de l'âge (médicaments contre-indiqués pour les personnes âgées) ou de la durée du traitement (durée excessive). Les erreurs de prescription représentent à peu près de 19 à 36 % des admissions à l'hôpital pour cause médicamenteuse79, 80. La coexistence de plusieurs médecins prescripteurs, le nombre de médicaments actuellement commercialisés (plus de 24 000), le nombre de contre-indications relatives documentées (plus de 33 000) et les lacunes dans les connaissances des médecins attribuables à leur âge et à leur formation sont d'importants facteurs qui contribuent à accroître le risque de la prescription de complaisance81	ormiston Local time: 09:41 Native speaker of: English PRO pts in category: 15
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) neutral  Tony M: I think the idea is right in general, except that i don't think this is about people asking to be given lots of medicines for the sake of it; it's about doctors prescribing hard drugs that are not medically justified, for patient's 'recreational' purposes 14 mins

prescription [of high risk drugs] solely for the patient's convenience Explanation: Another suggestion, although I still feel that something better could be found. It is a rephrasing of Sophie's "prescribing unneeded medication at the patient's request" I feel that "inappropriate" does not reflect the patient's input in the affair. "Complacency" got shot-down. "patient-driven" sounds good to me but as Tony pointed out it does not reflect the unnecessary character of the prescription "de complaisance". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 days (2008-08-18 16:48:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that the best translation would be "illegitimate prescription". http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=ma&vo... www.painandthelaw.org/mayday/brushwood_042606.php http://books.google.com/books?id=7VrQy2d8PxYC&pg=PA93&lpg=PA... http://www.aslme.org/research/mayday/24.4/24.4c.php	Jean-Louis S.

Reference Reference information: Do let's note that this is a very specific context; it may well be, of course, that such precriptions would be considered 'inappropriate' — but here, they're clearly referring to the dishonest practice of prescribing hard drugs (like morphine, for example), to people who don't actually need them, so that they can procure them 'legitimately' for potentially illegitiamte purposes. Cf. the use of: certificat ou attestation de complaisance : medical ou doctor's certificate (issued for non-genuine illness to oblige a patient) pavillon de complaisance : flag of convenience and of course the similar term in EN, marriage of convenience. However, I don't think one can probably use the term 'prescription of convenience' !!	Tony M France Native speaker of: English PRO pts in category: 192
Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster) neutral  Jean-Louis S.: I believe you had the answer (illegitimate) in your reference information all that time! 11 days   -> Thanks, jlsjr! In fact, now you come to mention it, that does rather seem to fit the bill, doesn't it? Wish I'd posted an answer now!
