Patient empowerment is important in order to increase the quality of the medical care and the life quality of the patients. In this respect, the paper describes how a telecare system can become more "friendly" with the assisted persons (elderly people or post-discharged patients) due to a specific feature addressing the patient access to information from medical texts. The according service is part of the server of a tele-care/tele-assistance system (TELEASIS) and adapts the medical text to "patient" lay person language, contributing in this respect to the patient empowerment process. This component is based on an original terminology interpretation engine which is being briefly described in this paper. The TELEASIS system has a specific interface dedicated to medical personnel allowing the addition and assignment of medical text to patients or group of patients, which can be later accessed by the patients adapted to a patient friendly language. The medial texts are saved on a central medical information database which contains different content formats (text, multimedia, videos). As a conclusion, the adapted information available for the assisted persons and the communication channels established in the system increase the possibility of patients being better informed on their health status.
患者赋权对于提高医疗质量和患者生活质量至关重要。在这方面，本文描述了一个远程护理系统如何通过一项特定功能，即解决患者获取医学文本信息的问题，从而对受助者（老年人或出院患者）变得更加“友好”。相应的服务是远程护理/远程协助系统（TELEASIS）服务器的一部分，它将医学文本改编为“患者”通俗语言，在这方面有助于患者赋权过程。该组件基于一个原创的术语解释引擎，本文将对其进行简要描述。TELEASIS系统有一个专门面向医务人员的特定界面，允许将医学文本添加并分配给患者或患者群体，之后患者可以以适合患者的友好语言访问这些文本。医学文本保存在一个中央医学信息数据库中，该数据库包含不同的内容格式（文本、多媒体、视频）。总之，为受助者提供的适配信息以及系统中建立的沟通渠道增加了患者更好地了解自身健康状况的可能性。
