Popularizing Terminology Using Social Networks

Abstract

In the context of the creation of the first Portuguese Atlas of Health Variation (PAHV), we associate a linguistic resource to the Atlas in the form of a terminological glossary. In this article, we will present the interdisciplinary contours of this project, in which the fields of Terminology, Literacy, and Health Economics meet to design a collaborative product with two components. One is geared toward experts in the field of Value-Based Health Care. The other is an approach that considers the low literacy level of citizens who are not experts in this field and therefore leads to thinking about adapting terminology content for popularization and dissemination through social networks.
