Patientlagstiftning
I'm sorry, I need to clarify the term you want me to define. It seems like you are asking for a medical definition of "patient lag" or "patient backlog," but there is no established medical term by that name. If you are referring to a situation where patients experience delays in receiving medical care or treatment due to various reasons, such as a high demand for services or staffing shortages, I can provide a definition for that:
Patient Backlog (or Patient Delay) refers to the phenomenon where patients face significant wait times before they can access medical care or treatment. This situation can arise due to several factors, including an insufficient number of healthcare providers, limited resources, high patient volume, and inefficient scheduling systems. Prolonged patient backlogs can negatively impact patient outcomes, quality of care, and overall satisfaction with the healthcare system.
