Medical history

Home » Glossary » Medical history

The medical history is an essential part of the examination, during which the practitioner gathers information about the patient’s past medical history and state of health. By asking specific questions about symptoms, previous illnesses, medication, allergies, lifestyle and family history, the practitioner tries to get a full understanding of the patient. The medical history is used for diagnosis, treatment planning and risk assessment. It supports the practitioner in identifying relevant information and connections to ensure precise and personalised care. A detailed and honest medical history is essential for successful medical treatment.
