FTCA deeming facility

17:24 Feb 18, 2018 

Mil gracias por los aportes, ¿entonces la expresión simplemente indica que el centro de salud cuenta con cobertura de la FTCA? Creo que lo que me despista es ese gerundio, "deeming" vs. "deemed"...

No worries, Lorena, my brain was on trike too, hence the query :)

I'd say that even on strike lorena's brain is strikingly sharp ;)
Sí, la idea que refleja lorena es precisamente la de que al Health Center se le ha concedido el deemed status, o lo que es lo mismo, que ante una demanda por malpraxis o negligencia estará cubierto por el FTCA. Diría que "amparado" o "cubierto por" parecen opciones razonables en el contexto.

I don't know if my comment "right now my brain is on strike" came across as intended. I meant I cannot think of a suitable word right now because my brain doesn't seem to be working tonight. My apologies if it came across as rude.

here deeming has to do with "deemed status".
Through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), eligible HRSA-supported health centers may be granted medical malpractice liability protection with the Federal government acting as their primary insurer. To receive coverage, grantees must submit an initial deeming application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care and meet the requirements to attain deemed status. Renewal applications for redeeming must be submitted on an annual basis to continue coverage.

Maybe this information can help our colleagues find a suitable translation. Right now my brain is on strike ;-/
