Healthcare and Medical
A health assessment is a systematic evaluation of a patient's physical condition and medical history, typically performed by nurses, physicians, or other clinicians through physical exams, vital sign checks, and diagnostic questioning. It's a foundational clinical skill used to identify health issues, establish baselines, and guide treatment planning in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings. Nursing and medical education programs train students extensively in assessment techniques as a core competency.
