━【今回の課題】━新聞記事(No. 1)の翻訳(第１１回)━━━━━━━━━━

本ブログのＮｏ．２２で、「添加」を表すの表現の一つとして<as well as>を採り上げました。この<as well as>で動詞をつなぐ場合には注意が必要です。

■課題
患者に病状を説明しやすく、複数の診療科の医師同士が情報を共有しやすいのが電子カルテの利点。それを医事会計コンピュータと組み合わせることで事務作業を効率化できるほか、診療内容とコストとの関係などを分析し、経費削減につなげる。

■日本人の翻訳
Major advantages of digitized medical records include easier explanation of the conditions of disease to the patient and information sharing among physicians across more than one care department.
Combining such digitized medical records with accounting computers will surely improve the efficiency of clerical work, as well as lead to cost reduction since analysis of care services and their costs, for example is made possible.
