Student:

This sheet is to help you understand what we are looking for, and what our margin remarks might be about on your write ups of patients. Since at all of the white-ups that you hand in are uniform, this represents what MUST be included in every write-up.

1)Identifying Data (5/5pts): The opening list of the note. It contains age, sex, race, marital status, etc. THE PATIENT COMPLAINT SHOULD BE GIVEN IN QUOTES. If the patient has more than one complaint, each complaint should be listed separately (1, 2, etc.) and each addressed in the subjective and under the appropriate number.

2)Subjective Data (30/30pts.): This is the historical part of the note. It contains the following:

a) Symptom analysis/HPI(location, quality , quantity or severity, timing, setting, factors that make it better or worse, and associate manifestations.(10/10pts).

4)Assessment (10/10pts.): Diagnoses should be clearly listed and worded appropriately. REMEMBER NEED TO USE A ICD 10 CODE FOR ENCOUNTER

5)Plan (15/15pts.): Be sure to include any teaching, health maintenance and counseling along with the pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures. If you have more than one diagnosis, it is helpful to have this section divided into separate numbered sections.

6)Subjective/ Objective, Assessment and Management and Consistent (10/10pts.): Does the note support the appropriate differential diagnosis process? Is there evidence that you know what systems and what symptoms go with which complaints? The assessment/diagnoses should be consistent with the subjective section and then the assessment and plan.
