French term or phrase: entretien d’accueil
CD-Rom sur l’entretien d’accueil

From a nursing training document.

It is a heading.

I'm stumped as to what it means.
Bosse de Nage
admission interview
Explanation:
I presume. The nurse interviews the patient on admission.

If there is a heading there must be something that follows which indicates the meaning, no?
