Why medical records require specialized translation
Medical records contain terminology that must be understood correctly to prevent misinterpretations that could affect diagnosis, treatment or administrative decisions. A mistranslated phrase or medical term can lead to incorrect assessments, denied insurance claims or delays in treatment.
Examples of medical records requiring translation include:
• Patient histories
• Diagnostic reports
• Laboratory and pathology results
• Radiology reports and imaging summaries
• Surgical and procedural notes
• Hospital discharge summaries
• Treatment plans and medication lists
• Vaccination records
• Mental health evaluations
• Rehabilitation and therapy notes
• Insurance medical documentation
• Worker’s compensation medical reports
Each of these documents requires precision and knowledge of medical terminology in both source and target languages.
Translators with medical expertise
Medical translation must be performed by linguists with clinical or scientific background. Our translators have extensive experience with:
• Anatomy and physiology
• Disease classification and clinical terminology
• Medical procedures and diagnostic methods
• Pharmaceutical terminology
• Medical devices and equipment vocabulary
• Healthcare standards and guidelines
This ensures that clinical meaning is preserved in translation and that terminology remains consistent with international medical usage.
ISO 17100: Quality assurance for medical translations
Medical translations must be reliable and ready for official use. ISO 17100 ensures that the translation follows strict professional standards, including:

• Translation into the linguist’s strongest target language
• Mandatory revision by a second qualified medical specialist
• Consistent terminology and glossary usage
• Transparent and documented workflows
• Final quality control before delivery
These procedures guarantee accuracy and consistency in each translation.
