Medical Terminology Management
Terminology accuracy is one of the most critical elements of medical translation quality. Medical terms and words such as disease names and physical conditions often have highly precise meanings, and mistranslation of these nomenclature can lead to incorrect diagnosis, resulting in patient safety risks or even death. Medical terminology management is the process of precisely defining each term and then having them carefully translated and reviewed in each target language. The resulting multilingual terminology glossary is then used for medical content translation and localization. The following lists some common English medical terms translated into Chinese and Spanish.
Expand in Foreign Markets with the Best Medical Translations
Global life science companies increasingly require fast and accurate multilingual services for clinical data (content) for each stage of the drug or medical device development lifecycle in order to respond to rapidly growing international patient care and accelerated overseas clinical trials. Ordinary translation services lack the language technologies, and are too slow to meet these challenging language service requirements with efficiency and scale, resulting in delayed time-to-market and lost international healthcare opportunities. This is why you need 91Â鶹. Our AI-powered translation management solutions go beyond the traditional database approach to translation memory and terminology management.

Good Documentation Practices (GDP) Translated Right
Good Documentation Practices (GDP) is a set of procedures designed for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries to have a systematic and verifiable process in place for all product development related communications. Also referred to as GDocP, GDP mandates that life science companies maintain documented records throughout the product R&D lifecycle covering intended use, product specifications, quality reports, release notes, rejection notices, corrective and preventive plans, patient forms, and approval records among others. The US FDA and other international authorities regularly audit these paper trails in the required languages as part of the drug or medical device approval process. Quality medical translation services are an integral component of the good document best practice.
To most efficiently translate GDocP documents for international regulatory compliance, a translation vendor must have experience working with GDocP documents as well using a translation management system to seamlessly manage document version control, approval, and change management, as well as translating in a variety file types and formats.
- Document Creation: The documents must be created concurrently with the appropriate product event they’re describing. The documents must be checked for accuracy so they’re error free. In the case of translation, the translated medical documents must be produced in a timely manner and be linguistically reviewed to ensure linguistic and technical accuracy.
- Document Approval: Documents are explicitly approved, signed off, and dated by authorized individuals for each language.
- Document Maintenance: Documents are regularly reviewed to ensure they’re up to date and that they’re valid for the appropriate timeframe. Documents are password protected, version controlled, and backed up securely.
- Change Management: A revision history must be maintained for all document modifications. For each change, a reason for alteration must be recorded. The altered content must be available for future review. A well-defined process must be available to ensure superseded documents are not inadvertently used.
Much of the Good Documentation Practices are carried out using electronic document management systems. However, some of the GDocP contents may be in the form of handwritten entries or recorded audios/videos, making the language translation process more complex. This is why you need an experienced medical translation company like 91Â鶹. We’ve developed the language industry’s leading solutions for automated OCR processing of scanned documents as well as streamlined multimedia localization in addition to standard document translations. Our powerful translation management system offers the best solutions for GDocP documents across all European and Asian languages.
GDocP is now required and enforced by the Food and Drug Administration and a number of international regulatory authorities such as the EMA, TGA, Health Canada, WHO, and others. GDocP is also mandated for Good Manufacturing Practices that cover the FDA’s Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), or regulations (21 CFR Part 58), and the FDA medical device directive (21 CFR Parts 211 and 820).

There is no better solution for improving translation quality than having people who are passionate about the subject matter field to do the translation themselves.
