Patient History (Anamnesis)
Good clinical outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis, and an accurate diagnosis is based on comprehensive and complete information.
Therefore, the first step in formulating a treatment plan is to obtain a detailed history from the patient.
This essential step in patient assessment, when followed by detailed examination and diagnosis, guides the clinician in formulating an appropriate treatment plan that addresses the patient's needs.
