diagnosemeldinger

Diagnosemeldinger is a Norwegian term used to describe messages and reports that convey diagnostic information. The phrase can refer to both medical communications about a patient’s diagnosed condition and to diagnostic messages generated by computer systems. In everyday professional use, the meaning is often clear from context.

In healthcare, diagnosemeldinger describe formal communications that inform a clinician or patient about a diagnosed condition. They may appear as discharge diagnoses, referral notes, or structured entries in electronic health records. Such messages often include diagnostic codes (for example ICD-10 codes), the rationale for the diagnosis, relevant clinical observations, and suggested next steps or treatment plans. They are subject to patient privacy regulations and are exchanged through secure health information systems to support continuity of care between hospitals, clinics, and primary care providers.

In information technology, diagnosemeldinger refer to diagnostic messages produced by software or hardware when problems occur. These messages provide information such as error codes, timestamps, affected components, and severity levels. They are used for troubleshooting, monitoring, and incident response, and may be logged locally or sent to centralized monitoring platforms. Standardized formats and protocols, such as logs, syslog, JSON-based messages, or SNMP traps, help automate analysis and alerting.

The term thus spans healthcare and computing contexts, where it denotes communications that encode diagnostic findings intended to aid understanding, diagnosis, or remediation. See also: medical diagnosis, discharge summary, diagnostic log, and error message.
