1 Learning Terminology

2 Objectives Explain how medical terms are developed. Describe the process of pluralizing terms. Describe how to interpret pronunciation marks. List basic legal and ethical issues for health-related professionals. Describe how medical documentation is compiled. After studying this chapter, you will be able to :

3 Language of Medicine Dates to the time when people had only spoken language and no written language Medical terminology began to gain uniformity as a result of the works of Hippocrates

4 Hippocratic Oath Forms the basic ethical standards of modern medicine with regards to: Abstaining from voluntary acts of mischief & corruption Keeping confidences Doing no harm

5 Hippocratic Oath Part 2 Some aspects are still debated today such as: Euthanasia Abortion

6 Derivation of Medical Terminology The study of the origin of words is called etymology. Many medical terms used today are based on Ancient Greek and Latin. Word building became and remains the primary way to describe new medical discoveries.

7 Derivation of Medical Terminology Part 2 Word knowledge was primarily passed on through only verbal communication which resulted in words being pronounced very differently. The word heart is derived from Old English heorte which comes from a word related to Greek kardia which means heart.

8 Pluralizing Terms Rules Add s to words ending in any vowel or consonant except s,x,z, or y (ex. joint- joints) Add es to words ending in s,x, or z (ex. reflex - reflexes)

9 Pluralizing Terms Part 2 Rules Cont’d Remove x and add `ces to Latin words ending in x (ex. appendix - appendices) Remove the `y and add `ies to words ending in `y preceded by a consonant (ex. mastectomy- mastectomies)

10 Pluralizing Terms Part 3 Rules Cont’d When an ending `y is preceded by a vowel, the usual plural suffix is `s (ex. boy - boys) Add `e to Latin terms ending in a (ex. lamina - laminae)

11 Pluralizing Terms Part 4 Rules Cont’d Remove `us and add `i to Latin words ending in us (ex. bacillus- bacilli) Change `sis to `ses in Greek words ending in sis (ex. psychosis - psychoses)

12 Pluralizing Terms Part 5 Rules Cont’d Remove `on from and add `a to Greek words ending in `on (ex. criterion - criteria) Remove `um from and add `a to Latin words ending in um (ex. diverticulum - diverticula)

13 Pluralizing Rules fossa fossae datum data radix radices LatinGreek Singular Plural neurosis neuroses ganglion ganglia calyx calyces

14 Spelling & Pronunciation of Medical Terms Misspellings and mispronunciations in a medical setting can result in life threatening situations “The patient was to have a cholectomy NOT a colectomy!!”

15 Spelling & Pronunciation of Medical Terms Part 2 Pronouncing a word out loud each time you see the pronounciation will help familiarize you with the sound of the word. Long and short vowels are a guide to help you pronounce words. anemia a-NE-me-a reflex RE-fleks typhoid TI-foyd

16 Legal and Ethical Issues The American Hospital Association’s Patient’s Bill of Rights gives guidelines which provide a clear, ethical standard for patient’s rights. Right to refuse care Right to privacy Right to be informed Right to considerate and respectful care.

17 Using Medical Terminology Medical Terminology is instrumental in both verbal and written communication. Documentation of health care services must be complete for both ethical and legal reasons.

18 Medical Records Formats for medical records depend on: State law Institution’s responsibilities Configuration of its computer systems Coding and billing practices

19 Medical Records SOAP format Medical Records SOAP Format S- subjective O- objective A- assessment P- plan

20 Chronological Format Medical Records Chronological Format Interactions are listed in chronological order. Earliest date is at the top of the patient record
