Prosedyrerelaterte

Prosedyrerelaterte is a Norwegian adjective meaning related to procedures. It is formed from prosedyre (procedure) and relatert (related) and is used to describe elements that are tied to a procedure rather than to diseases, conditions, or outcomes. The term commonly appears in professional documentation, research, and quality management to classify aspects connected to processes.

In healthcare, prosedyrerelaterte events refer to incidents, risks, or outcomes that occur in connection with a medical procedure, such as surgery, diagnostic tests, or care routines. Examples include procedure-related infections, bleeding as a procedure-related complication, and delays caused by workflow issues. The term helps distinguish issues arising from the steps of a procedure from those caused by patient-specific factors.

In quality and safety reporting, the category prosedyrerelaterte is used to separate procedure-linked problems from patient-related events or system-wide failures. It supports root-cause analyses by focusing on the steps within a process and identifying whether an issue originates from how a procedure is performed, documented, or managed. The concept also appears in other sectors, such as IT or manufacturing, where it describes steps in workflows, compliance checks, or process controls that are tied to a particular procedure.

Usage notes: the exact scope of prosedyrerelaterte depends on context, so it is important to define what counts as a procedure for the classification. The term may be used differently across organizations or sectors, underscoring the need for clear definitions when applying it in reporting or research.
