Abstract

A case history is an essential element of medical assessment, offering a structured and detailed overview of a patient's health. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing conditions accurately and formulating effective treatment plans. This paper explores the key components of a case history, including patient identification, chief complaint, history of present illness, past medical history, medications, family and social history, and review of systems. Additionally, it highlights the significance of effective communication in obtaining comprehensive patient information. A well-documented case history enables healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centered care, improving overall health outcomes.
