What does (R) mean in Healthcare?
This page is about the meanings of the acronym/abbreviation/shorthand (R) in the Medical field in general and in the Healthcare terminology in particular.
Right, as in right arm or right leg.
Right and left are used so often in healthcare that it gets aggravating to use the whole word. Previously, an R or L is circled. More often people have been using the letters with no additional markers. The parentheses may be an homage to the circled letter.
