Medical Assessment

A medical assessment is a process where a healthcare professional evaluates a patient's health status to identify any medical issues. It typically involves taking a detailed medical history, performing a physical examination, and, if needed, ordering laboratory tests or imaging studies. This assessment helps in diagnosing conditions, developing treatment plans, and monitoring health improvements. It’s an essential step in ensuring that patients receive appropriate care and management for their health concerns. Ultimately, a thorough assessment aids in making informed decisions about a patient's health journey.
