Danish to English Medical Medical (general) Guidelines for online medical reporting

Every so often I stumble upon the word, forløb, which I often rewrite, depending on the context.

In this particular project, it occurs as follows:

...patienten er tilknyttet en given enhed i et ambulant forløb.

På grundlag af ambulant kontakt oprettes forløbselement.

...som her udtrykkes som et forløbselement, der angiver et ambulant tilhørsforhold til et sygehus under et givent forløbsansvar.

It's a bit tricky...

Any good suggestions???
