What is Patient assessment?

Patient assessment is the systematic process of gathering and evaluating relevant information about a patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical or mental health status. It involves conducting interviews, physical examinations, diagnostic tests, and reviewing medical records to fully understand the patient's condition, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.

In the digital age, there are innovative ways to streamline this process. For example, you can automate your paperwork with online forms which can help reduce manual data entry allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care.
