What should be included in the evaluation of a patient admitted to facilities?

The evaluation of a patient admitted to a healthcare facility should encompass a comprehensive health assessment. This approach ensures that all aspects of the patient's health are considered, which is critical for effective treatment and care planning. A thorough health assessment goes beyond just the current medical condition to include the patient's physical health, mental health, social determinants, and even potential behavioral issues. By applying a holistic view, healthcare providers can better understand the patient’s needs, risks, and circumstances that may affect their health and recovery process. This comprehensive perspective is essential for developing tailored care plans that address various factors influencing a patient’s well-being and ultimately improve health outcomes.
