Clinical Assessment

Meaning

A clinical assessment is the systematic process by which a healthcare provider gathers, evaluates, and synthesizes patient data to determine a diagnosis, prognosis, and appropriate management plan. This comprehensive process integrates the patient’s history, physical examination findings, and results from diagnostic tests, including hormonal panels and biochemical markers. It is the cornerstone of personalized medicine, translating subjective experience and objective data into actionable clinical insights.
