Greet the patient. Assess their general physical appearance
History of present illness Past medical history including surgical history Medications and allergies Relevant social history Family history
Please bear in mind that with most clinics using electronic medical records, the patient’s demographics, PMHx, FHx, and allergies may already be in the system. It may be useful for some patients to update their social history, or medication list during their visit.
Lastly, take a moment or two to review the patient's previous charts/EMR to have a clearer idea of the patient's background and previous visits but don't let that bias or cloud any new complaints brought in by the patient. |
