The Patient-Professional Communication Platform (PPCP) The Patient-Professional Communication Platform project aims to improve the understanding and minimise the risk of miscommunication between health care providers and patients. PPCP offers a commercially sustainable and comprehensive solution for developing and using everyday language in spoken as well as written patient-professional digital communications. It also enables care recipients to better understand the clinical language in medical records, and helps health care providers use standardised terminology when producing medical information. ‘Professional’ and ‘everyday’ language in this context encompasses any and all languages, including ‘minority’ and ‘immigration’ languages. Goals: • To develop a plugin that links multilingual professional and non-professional language • To showcase how the plugin works when a heart attack patient wants to understand his or her medical record Activities • Develop an easy-to use plugin • Collect multilingual terminology for the pilot focus area (heart attack) • Test the function of the plugin on actual care recipients to ensure relevance and worth
