Abstract

The main objective of our research was to investigate terminological units referring to the abbreviations and symbols used in the drafting of patient record discharge summaries in public hospitals in Brazil and Spain, aiming at the structuring of (semantic) metadata for the representation and retrieval of information. The loci of the empirical study were, in Brazil, the SAME of the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital - Federal University of Paraiba (HULW-UFPB), and in Spain, the Clinical Documentation Unit of Clinical Hospital of Barcelona (HCB).
