Glossary of Health Terms
Hospitals rely greatly on the talents and expertise of groups of individuals who donate their time to the hospital. These individuals, serving as hospital trustee, auxiliary leader, or other volunteer, while usually not professionally educated in the field of healthcare, are often called on to discuss healthcare issues. The Glossary of Healthcare Terms and Abbreviations, a project of the NJHA Council on Hospital Governance, is designed to help these individuals understand the everyday language of healthcare.
This Glossary, while primarily intended to familiarize members of hospital governance boards with the language of healthcare, will be of value to anyone involved in healthcare. It serves as a quick read of commonly used healthcare terms and abbreviations. While every healthcare word or term may not appear here, we have also provided you with links to other sources of information. Please let us know if you have suggestions for other terms or definitions by contacting the Institute at trustee_institute@njha.com. Thank you.
