prise en charge

English translation: management

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:prise en charge
English translation:management
Entered by: Bertrand Leduc

15:46 Jan 4, 2013
French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Alzheimer antibody
French term or phrase: prise en charge
CONTEXT:

"En France, la prise en charge de la maladie d'Alzheimer est fortement reglementée par les divers organismes sociaux. Les délais d'acceptation pouvant être très longs, il convient de saisir l'opportunité quand celle-ci se présente."

The term already exists in the KudoZ glossary, but since it seems to have a different meaning every time, I think it's better to ask. Does it mean 'treatment', does it mean 'management', or does it mean somehting else? TIA.

funding/reimbursement


Explanation:
I think the reason why this keeps coming up is because it has two different English translations. It can mean to treat/manage, or to pay for. In my opinion, based on the context, it's the latter here. That's why it says "saisir l'opportunité", ie to get free/low-cost treatment.

agree  Joan Berglund: I think this translation is likely in this context; it is tricky though, and the whole document should be considered

confirmation of diagnosis and cover


Explanation:
Looking at the French government website below, it is clear that Alzheimers is one of the long-term conditions (ADLs) for which medical care is covered 100% by the French health service. However, in order to receive that cover the diagnosis has to be confirmed at a specialist centre. This must be where the waiting comes in.

"La prise en charge de la maladie d’Alzheimer

Compte tenu du caractère évolutif de la maladie, une prise en charge précoce permet d’améliorer les conditions de vie des patients et de leur entourage. D’où l’intérêt du diagnostic précoce.
Les consultations mémoire

Depuis le lancement du plan Alzheimer 2004-2007, des consultations mémoire sont progressivement mises en place dans les hôpitaux. Actuellement, il en existe plus de 360 réparties dans toutes les régions métropolitaines et dans les DOM. Ces consultations permettent de dépister la maladie et de confirmer le diagnostic avec certitude. Elles ont également pour mission de rassurer les patients qui souffrent de troubles bénins et réaliser un suivi des malades et de leurs familles.

Les consultations mémoire participent également au suivi des personnes malades en partenariat avec les médecins de ville (généralistes, neurologues, psychiatres…) et les professionnels médico-sociaux. Autre mission : la formation des professionnels impliqués dans la prise en charge des personnes souffrant de troubles démentiels (généralistes, personnels des services de soins infirmiers à domicile), identifier les situations complexes justifiant le recours à un centre mémoire de ressources et de recherche.

Pour accomplir leurs missions, les consultations disposent d’une équipe pluridisciplinaire composée, notamment de praticiens hospitaliers, gériatre, neurologue, psychiatre et psychologue.
