e-Bridge Definitions/Commonly used Terms
Defining and Standardizing e-Bridge terms for clearer communication and standardization
Why We Define These Terms
Defining key terms and phrases is essential for ensuring clarity and consistency across our platform and communications. By standardizing the language we use, we aim to help users navigate the system more easily, align on expectations, and reduce confusion. This glossary serves as a reference to ensure that all parties—whether they are administrators, healthcare professionals, or technical staff—understand the purpose of each term and how it relates to their workflow within our system. Having these definitions readily available promotes effective collaboration, accurate configuration, and smooth operation across various roles and tasks.
