Comprehensive medical Assessment extends beyond the ‘traditional’ medical
consultation. It involves a multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment approach
encompassing all aspects of a person’s health. This involves medical, cognitive, mental, physical, functional, social, environmental, and spiritual. This systematicn evaluation allows for multiples issues to be identified and addressed accordingly. Importantly it appreciates how certain medical conditions, medications, and social aspects of a person’s life can impact on their health. The patient’s goals and wishes, remain the centre of the assessment and a collaborative management plan is created.
