Norwegian term

åpen retur

Norwegian to English Medical Medical (general)
Is there an English equivalent for this "right" to return to the same hospital and even the same ward/station? "Open return" seems almost Norglish to me. (I understand the concept, just need an equivalent phrase please.)
Proposed translations (English)
3 right to readmission

"Open return" I think this type of service is provided only in Norway. Therefore, I don't think you will find an equivalent in British or American English texts. Ref:http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=14...

This may suit.

In the light of Vedis' comments, here is another site which has simply translated it literally!

I still believe you could use "right to readmission", but I agree that it is not a known concept outside of Norway.

Something went wrong...
