ravivõtmise

Ravivõtmine, often translated as "treatment taking" or "reception of treatment," is a term used in Estonian healthcare and social services contexts to describe the process by which an individual formally begins to receive a specific medical treatment, therapy, or social support service. It signifies the point at which a patient or client is officially registered for and commences a planned course of care. This can range from being admitted to a hospital for surgery, starting a series of physiotherapy sessions, or enrolling in a rehabilitation program. The term implies an active engagement from the recipient in the healthcare or service provision system.

The concept of ravivõtmine is important for administrative and logistical purposes within healthcare institutions. It marks the commencement of a patient's care episode, influencing resource allocation, scheduling, and the initiation of various support protocols. For the patient, ravivõtmine often follows an assessment or diagnosis, and it represents the transition from seeking help to actively receiving it. It can also imply a commitment from both the provider and the recipient to work towards a defined therapeutic goal. In social services, ravivõtmine might refer to the start of support for individuals with disabilities, elderly care services, or child protection interventions.
