patient evaluation

Patient evaluation is the process healthcare providers use to gather information about a person's health. It involves asking about symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, as well as performing physical exams and sometimes diagnostic tests. This helps doctors understand what might be causing health issues and guides them in choosing the best treatment. The goal is to get a complete picture of the patient's health to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective care. It’s a careful, systematic approach that helps identify problems early and supports overall well-being.
