Healthcare Fundamentals

Healthcare jargon dictionary

Don't let healthcare jargon trip you up. With this user-friendly resource explaining over 100 terms, you'll never have to worry about not understanding the difference between an HIE and an HIX. Use this dictionary as a tool to demystify wonky healthcare acronyms and provide context for everyday conversation.

Healthcare terms defined

Healthcare is so full of acronyms and jargon that it can be easy to get tripped up. What’s the difference between an HIE and an HIX? Which new executive roles are emerging at hospitals? What does MACRA actually stand for?

We’ve created this dictionary to review frequently referenced healthcare terms that you might not have understood, but didn’t want to ask your customers to define. While this list is not comprehensive, it explains over 100 terms from across the industry — terms specific to artificial intelligence, hospital operations, value-based care, and more. The terms have been organized by topic area. Each section provides definitions to commonly used terms, as well as additional links to Advisory Board resources.

Keep this dictionary nearby as your go-to resource to demystify wonky healthcare acronyms, to provide context to your everyday conversations, and to speak fluently about healthcare trends and concepts with your provider partners.
