Aboard
Aboard (/əˈbɔːrd/), from the Middle English word "abord", is a term that is not typically used in a medical context. However, it can be used metaphorically to describe the process of adopting or beginning to use a new system or method in healthcare.
Etymology
The term "aboard" originates from the Middle English word "abord", which means "on board". It is derived from the Old French "abord", which is a combination of "a-" (to) and "bord" (board or side).
Usage in Medical Context
While "aboard" is not a medical term per se, it can be used in a medical context to describe the process of adopting or beginning to use a new system or method. For example, a hospital might say that they are "bringing a new electronic health record system aboard", meaning they are starting to use it.
