Behandlingsrekken

Behandlingsrekken is a Norwegian term used in healthcare and clinical contexts, with a literal meaning akin to “the treatment rack” or “the treatment row.” The term is used in two general senses. First, it can denote a physical rack, trolley, or shelf system that is used to organize, store, and transport instruments, disposables, medications, and other supplies needed during patient treatments. Such racks are typically made of stainless steel or durable plastics and are designed for cleaning and sterilization, with attention to workflow, infection control, and traceability of items.

Second, behandlingsrekken can refer to the planned sequence of treatments administered to a patient, trial subject, or rehabilitation program. In this sense, it describes how different interventions are ordered, timed, and recorded, and is often part of a care pathway, treatment protocol, or study design. The exact meaning varies by institution and discipline, and clinicians or researchers may use related terms or synonyms in different contexts.

The concept intersects with broader themes in healthcare logistics, workflow optimization, and protocol-driven care. Because terminology can differ between hospitals and regions, local documentation should clarify what is meant by behandlingsrekken in a given setting to avoid ambiguity.
