policlinic, a.|pɒlɪˈklɪnɪk|
Also erron. poly-.
[ad. Ger. poliklinik, f. Gr. πόλι-ς city + klinik medical teaching at the bed-side of the patient (= clinic n.2), hence a hospital by which this is provided, ad. Gr. κλινική the clinic art or practice.]
orig. ‘A clinic held in private houses in the town, as opposed to one held in a hospital’ (Syd. Soc. Lex. 1895). Subsequently often extended to a dispensary, or that department of a hospital, at which out-patients are treated. Cf. polyclinic.
The orig. system continued (c 1900) at smaller places in Germany; while in larger cities the latter had become standard. Cf. Brockhaus Konvers.-Lex. (1846) s.v. Klinik: ‘Poliklinik [as distinguished from the stationäre klinik or hospital treatment of in-patients, and ambulatorische klinik or hospital treatment of out-patients] consists in the fact that the patients are treated in their own dwellings by the advanced medical students, while the professor, to whom these regularly report and who supervises the whole treatment of the patients, himself but seldom visits them’.
1827Lancet 17 Nov. 256/2 [In Germany] Those students who have duly attended the clinics, are admitted to the policlinics. In these, poor patients are treated by students, under the superintendence of an experienced..physician. 1882–3Schaff's Encycl. Relig. Knowl.
