Ha, okay, cheers Chema!

Perfectly understood and you are right, Robert; there is no "active approval" when forcing collective endorsement. Go ahead; the option is yours. I'll subscribe! ;))

Hi Chema, thanks. I'd say the "endorse" is synonymous with both physically signing a document and declaring approval. However, the idea of being coerced to endorse someone's ideas or policies seems to me to remove the "active approval" that I believe you were talking about.
In any case, if you'd like to post it as an option, you'd certainly get my endorsement :-)

Hi neilmac, I think the original refers to specific objectives (as assessment objectives) defined according to certain goals (i.e. objetivos de gestión as management objectives).

IMHO "targets" may be more appropriate (or at least a useful synonym) than "objectives" if it's about healthcare management.

Oooooh I like collective endorsement! Thank you!

Hi Robert; I was going to say yes right away but you might be able to help me out here as for the nuances involved in each case. When I used "forcing collective subscription to" I was thinking of this as forcing acceptance, as if by faith or duty; with no invitation to discussion or analysis; as if forcing allegiance to objectives through the "abuse" of a feeling of responsibility or through the utilization of professional weariness and/or despair; as Resignation more than Approval. I feel -just a feeling- that endorsement might imply a more active individual role, as an action of approval more than mere acceptance of objectives.

It would obviously help to know about the specific context but for me the original "a través de la firma colectiva" implies a take-it-or-leave-it situation where not signing, individually, can only damage your own team; the implied need of collective "acceptance" of objectives can thus be understood as a means of pressure over each single professional.

Whether right or wrong I would expect you to be able now to translate all this into succint proper English ;)) "Collective endorsement" might well be a reasonable option here anyhow!

Saludos!

Hi Chema, if that's the idea, then perhaps "collective endorsement"?

14:10 Jun 19, 2018 

Just an idea (of a non-native);
... or puts pressure on [general practitioners/physicians] by forcing collective subscription to objectives.
