Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answer should include, but may not be limited to, the following
? Depending on the medical specialty, increased detail is required in the documentation of the performed physical examination. For example, a pulmonologist would assess the patient with greater focus on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems than a general family practitioner. As a result, the documented findings may be more detailed with greater anatomic specificity.
? The 1995 body area/organ system physical examination may only recognize the documentation of the cardiovascular system, even if the physician documented palpation and auscultation of the heart, as well as examination of the carotid and femoral arteries, the abdominal aorta, the pedal pulses, and examined the extremities for edema or varicosities. Under the body area/organ system physical examination guidelines, this documented physical examination would only be a problem focused type exam.
? However, if the same documented physical examination were reviewed using the general multisystem physical examination guidelines- palpation and auscultation of the heart, as well as examination of the carotid and femoral arteries, the abdominal aorta, the pedal pulses, and examined the extremities for edema or varicosities – the documented general multisystem physical examination would be an expanded problem focused physical examination.
? As a result, the amount of work, skill, effort and expertise provided by the physician can be properly reflected with the general multisystem physical examination.
