Propisivanje

Propisivanje is a noun used in several South Slavic languages (notably Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin) to denote the act of prescribing, laying down, or specifying something. It derives from the verb propisivati, meaning to prescribe, stipulate, or regulate. The term is applied in different domains where authorities or professionals establish rules, standards, or procedures.

In medical contexts propisivanje refers to the act of issuing a prescription for medications or therapies, including the designation of the patient’s treatment plan, dosage, and duration. It encompasses the formal process by which a clinician specifies what a patient should receive and how it should be taken.

Beyond medicine, propisivanje is used to describe the formal establishment of rules, regulations, or technical standards. In administrative, legal, or technical settings, it denotes the act of specifying requirements, procedures, safety measures, or industry standards that must be followed by organizations or individuals.

Usage and nuances can vary by language and context. The term emphasizes the act of setting down or mandating guidance, whereas related forms such as propis (a provision or regulation) refer to the rules themselves, and the verb propisati denotes the act of prescribing or stipulating.
