Feasible
Feasible
Feasible (/ˈfiːzɪbəl/), from the Latin word faisibilis, meaning "doable" or "capable of being done", is a term often used in the medical field to describe a course of treatment, procedure, or research study that is practical and possible to implement.
Definition
In a medical context, feasible refers to the likelihood that a health intervention, such as a treatment, procedure, or research study, can be carried out successfully in a given context. This takes into account various factors such as cost, time, resources, and ethical considerations.
Related Terms

- Viability: In a medical context, viability often refers to the ability of a fetus to survive outside the womb. However, it can also refer to the likelihood of success of a treatment or procedure.
- Practicability: This refers to the ability to carry out a certain action or procedure. In medicine, this could refer to the feasibility of a treatment plan or research study.
- Implementation: In medicine, implementation refers to the process of putting a treatment plan or research study into action.
Usage in Medical Context
Feasibility is a crucial consideration in medicine, particularly in the planning and implementation of treatment plans and research studies. For example, a treatment may be theoretically effective, but if it is not feasible to implement due to cost, time, or other constraints, it may not be a viable option. Similarly, a research study may have potential to yield valuable insights, but if it is not feasible to carry out, it may need to be re-evaluated or redesigned.
