Our providers have this template for Hypertension which is supposed to cover at least 4 HPI’s but I am not sure I get 4 HPI elements, I really only see 3. I am interested in others opinions and guidance.
HPI – Hypertension
Compliance with medications: almost never misses a dose
Headaches: none
Epistaxis: none
Chest pain: none
Dizziness: none
Patients perception of control: good
Non-pharmacologic measures: good diet
Medication side effects: none
Acceptability of meds to the patient: OK to the patient
Further history: Pt is not checking his BP at home
I was counting:
Patients perception of control as quality
Headaches, epistaxis, chest pain, dizziness all associated signs and symptoms
compliance of medications as modifying factor
I don’t think location can be inferred by my co-worker does
TIA
KM – CPC
