Advanced assessment is the cornerstone of clinical practice. Clinicians use advanced assessment skills as the foundation for delivering quality care. Thorough history-taking and physical examination provide the clinician with key subjective information and tangible, objective information on which to base current and future decision-making. Only with comprehensive, accurate, and evidence-based assessment can a clinician ensure patient safety, quality, and cost-effective care.
