Diagnostic
Process
The
diagnostic process begins when a patient experiences a health problem and
decides to engage with the healthcare system. This involves a continuous cycle
of information gathering, integration, and interpretation to develop a working
diagnosis. Clinicians use clinical history, physical exams, diagnostic tests,
and consultations to gather relevant information. The working diagnosis may
initially include multiple possibilities (differential diagnosis) and is
refined over time as more information is obtained. Communication with the
patient and their family is crucial throughout this process.
Diagnostic
refinement progresses from hypothesis generation to diagnostic verification,
which ensures the lead diagnosis adequately explains the patient’s signs,
symptoms, and context before considering risky or invasive testing. Treatment
can reduce diagnostic uncertainty, acting as a feedback loop to inform and
refine the working diagnosis. The goal is not absolute certainty but enough
clarity to make informed care decisions.
The
diagnostic process includes four main activities:
1. Taking a clinical history
and interview
2. Performing physical
exams
3. Conducting diagnostic
tests
4. Consulting with other
clinicians
This approach applies across all healthcare areas, including mental health care.
