Study Notes
Patient Screening
- Patient screening is important for discussions about diseases
- Each disease entity begins with a "Patient Screening" section
- Patient screening guides the urgency for an appointment, identify emergencies, and discern the need for referral to a physician.
- The information in "Patient Screening" is not a medical diagnosis or cure
- Patient Screening is not the same as medical triage
- Medical triage is reserved for certain licensed professionals
- Listening carefully during calls may identify information that helps the telephone screener choose the correct action.
Key Information
- The information provided is meant to be a guide to the patient
- Reference values may vary depending on the laboratory, and should be consulted in the context of the patient's overall health.
