German term

Hausl. (abbreviation)

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care
This appears in a hospital bill, in an entry "Hausl. phys. Medizin". Could someone tell me what this abbreviation stands for?

Discussion

D. Harvatis (asker) Oct 12, 2012:
Thank you all Unfortunately my deadline was today - I went with Marga's "in-house". Thank you for your help.
Susanne Schiewe Oct 10, 2012:
Could it be a typo/transcription error for "hausi..." i. e. "hausinterne". But anyway, I agree with the colleagues that it must be in-house, if the patient was hospitalized
D. Harvatis (asker) Oct 10, 2012:
Additional info I'm afraid there's not much: the patient has apparently undergone surgery for a neoplasm; he/she was treated in an Austrian clinic. No other information on the disease or the physiatric treatment.
Johannes Gleim Oct 10, 2012:
Could you please substantiate your assumption? Why does "hausl." refer to the hospital instead of the home?
Wendy Streitparth Oct 10, 2012:
@ Marga: agree with in-house
Johannes Gleim Oct 10, 2012:
@ Marga I did not say "psychisch" or "hauslich", what were a typing error.
Johannes Gleim Oct 10, 2012:
@ D. Havarti: Bitte mehr Kontext! Aus welchem Land stammt die Rechnung? Welche Krankheit wurde behandelt? Welches Krankheitsstadium (z.B. Rehabilitation)? Könnte es ein Ambulantorium (Klinik mit ambulanter Behandlung) handeln?
Merry Foxworth Oct 10, 2012:
physiatrist It is possible to have doctors in the speciality of physical medicine. We call them physiatrists. This may or may not apply in your example.
Marga Shaw Oct 9, 2012:
With Johannes and Johanna - As this is a hospital bill this would be "in-house physiotherapy [services]" ? (Johannes, I would forget about the "physische" and it is "häusliche" and not "hausliche".)
Johanna Timm, PhD Oct 9, 2012:
sehe ich wie Johannes i. S.v. häusliche Physiotherapieanwendungen?
Marga Shaw Oct 9, 2012:
@ D. Harvatis Could you provide more context please, e.g. a few more items appearing on the bill?
Johannes Gleim Oct 9, 2012:
hausl. phys. = häusliche physikalische (auch physische oder ähnlich, z.b. Physiotherapie), hängt auch viel von der Art der zu therapierenden Krankheit ab.

Something about neoplasm and possible aftercare:

Neoplasien können jegliche Art von Gewebe betreffen, sie können gutartig (benigne) oder bösartig (maligne) sein. Die maligne Variante wird auch umgangssprachlich als Krebs bezeichnet.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplasma

Neoplasm (from ancient Greek νεο- neo-, "new" + πλάσμα plasma, "formation", "creation") is an abnormal mass of tissue as a result of neoplasia. Neoplasia is the abnormal proliferation of cells.
:
A neoplasm can be benign, potentially malignant (pre-cancer), or malignant (cancer)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplasm

Neoplasia is the abnormal proliferation of cells. The growth of the cells exceeds, and is uncoordinated with that of the normal tissues around it. The growth persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli. It usually causes a lump or tumor. Neoplasms may be benign, pre-malignant or malignant.
In modern medicine, the term ''tumor'' is synonymous with a neoplasm that has formed a lump. In the past, the term ''tumor'' was used differently. Some neoplasms do not cause a lump.

Treatment (of leukemia) may include chemotherapy with anticancer drugs, radiation therapy, blood and plasma transfusions, and bone marrow transplantation also homeopathy medicines help in treating
:
Homeopathy is to put the Hodgkin’s disease into a long-term remission and cure the disease, Hodgkin’s disease is one of the few cancers that can be successfully treated and cured even if the disease returns. If Hodgkin’s disease returns, it must be treated with homeopathy again. The likelihood of cure from recurrent Hodgkin’s disease depends largely on the duration of the initial remission as well as the amount of disease that is present at the time of relapse.

Your health care team will probably try to have you move around as soon as possible after surgery. They may even have you out of bed and walking the same day. While this may be hard at first, it helps speed your recovery by getting your digestive tract moving. It also helps your circulation and helps prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. Again, be sure to let your team know if you are having a lot of pain, so they can give you medicine to control it.
http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/Tre...

Once you are eating and walking, you may start hearing about plans for going home. Of course, this will depend upon other factors too, such as the results of the surgery and tests done afterward. Your doctor will want to make sure you are well enough to be home. Before leaving, be sure that you understand the following:
• How you will care for your wound at home
:
You may need help at home for a while after surgery. If family members or friends are unable to do all that is needed, your health care team may be able to arrange to have a nurse or nurse’s aide visit you at home for a short while.
http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/Tre...

Aftercare: (1) The care and treatment of a patient after an operation, delivery, or convalescence from an illness. (2) Following psychiatric hospitalization, a continuing program of rehabilitation designed to reinforce the effects of the therapy; may include partial hospitalization, day hospital, or outpatient treatment.
http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/medical/aftercare.htm

Conclusion: Given the small amount of context (type of neoplasm and treatment unknown), caring at home is one of several stages in recovery and rehabilitation. Hence not excluded.

Unless the asker informs us the question were wrong (as supposed by Susanne) we have to interprete "hausl" and not "hausi".
Peer comment(s):

neutral Marga Shaw : This is about a hospital bill. Sorry, but I cannot see were "domestic" and "homely" fit in.

Isn't it possible that a patient is further treated or cared at his home from the hospital? This is common in medical rehabiltation.
