"Health assessment is important and often first step in identifying the patient's problem. Health assessment helps to identify the medical need of patients. Patient's health is assessed by conducting physical examination of patient. A routine physical examination ensures that you stay in good health. The purpose of health assessment is to get a general understanding of the state of your health across your mental, physical, psychological and sexual wellbeing. Health assessments enable you to take a proactive stance towards your health and screen for certain diseases. As patient volume increases and encounter times become shorter, it is critical for clinicians to establish a working diagnosis in a timely manner. Health needs assessment is a new phrase to describe the development and refinement of well-established approaches to understanding the needs of a local population."--Back cover
