Patient Assessment Tools

Patient assessment tools are structured methods used by healthcare professionals to evaluate a patient's health status, needs, and risks. These tools may include questionnaires, checklists, or physical examinations designed to gather important information about a patient's symptoms, medical history, and overall well-being. By using these tools, healthcare providers can make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and care plans, ensuring that patients receive appropriate and effective healthcare tailored to their individual circumstances. Ultimately, these assessments help improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of care.
