Dutch term or phrase: signalering
Used as a verb within a whole sentence, this poses little problem (identifying/ flagging/ highlighting problems at an early stage), but as a noun? Can’t think of a neat way round it.

[WMCZ= Wet medezeggenschap cliënten in zorginstellingen]
In opdracht van het Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport is een evaluatie uitgevoerd naar de naleving en invulling van de wet. Hieruit blijkt dat in sectoren waar reeds een medezeggenschapstraditie bestond, de WMCZ de bestaande zeggenschapsregelingen heeft geformaliseerd, zoals verpleeg- en verzorgingshuizen, instellingen voor geestelijke gezondheidszorg en de gehandicaptenzorg. In sectoren zonder medezeggenschapstraditie heeft de WMCZ de totstandkoming van cliëntenraden gestimuleerd, zoals in de thuiszorg. De overheid wil de betrokken een betere werking van de wet in de praktijk stimuleren, zoals zelfregulering, kwaliteitsbevordering, de **signaleringsfunktie**, samenwerking met een klachtencommissie en vertrouwenslieden, en participatie van allochtonen.
