Dividing Diseases into Acute and Chronic?Long Ailment?Pain in reference to Duration?Order of Sequence?Established Course of Disease. The inquiry into the first manifestation of any deviation from health, the duration of the disease, and the order and sequence of the phenomena, is of considerable importance, as defining in general terms not only the whole period of the illness, but also, in some measure, the continuance of each particular derangement, and establishing a certain relation between each new symptom and that which immediately preceded it. From the preliminary inquiry as to the age, occupation, and habits of the patient, valuable suggestions are sometimes obtained. We need not dwell upon the variations in the character of diseases, as they occur in infancy, youth, adult life, and old age, because these are rather associated with stages of development than with periods of years; but we may refer to the information of tardy growth or premature decay, which the contrast between the actual and the probable age of the individual sometimes reveals; and to the liability at certain ages to the occurrence of specific diseases. In a still more marked manner does the occupation of the patient become the direct index of the disease under which he is laboring, as we know that in the pursuit of certain trades jnen are necessarily exposed to the influence of various morbid agencies. Nor less important is a knowledge of previous habits in enabling us to calculate the strength of constitution, or the tendency to unhealthy action, in warning us that certain modes of treatment must or must not be adopted, and in pointing out the diseases which will be the probable consequence of baneful indulgences. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual Medical Diagnosis: Being an Analysis of the Signs and Symptoms of Disease The ultimate object of study in all departments of medicine the object which must ever be kept in view alike by teacher and pupil - is the relief of the patient by the successful treatment of disease. To this end the properties of various remedial agents are taught in Materia Medica, as they possess the power of neutralizing or eliminating poisons, of counteracting morbid action in its progress or modifying its results, and of aiding and sustaining the powers of life, when those wonderful laws of our economy come into operation, by which the destructive agency of noxious in uences is combated, and the useless and effete or injured tissues are extruded from the body. To the same end the student must acquire a knowledge of the various structures of the body and the functions of its organs in health, as well as the pathological changes in solids and uids, which become the subjects of anatomical research, and perversions of healthy function which may be traced at the bedside in the pro gress of disease: these belong to the domain of Physiology and Pathology. The theory of disease, again, combines, by the aid of experience, the perversion of function with the change of structure, deducing the symptoms observed as a necessary sequence from the disturbance of the laws of health to which such changes must give rise; but it also teaches us that there are other and more hidden ele ments of disease, stamped in their operation on the human frame, with characters no less marked and distinct, which have yet evaded our most diligent search. This department divides itself into two branches: it points out the alliances and differences between various forms of disease and the prominent features by which they are characterized, and to this the name of Nosology has been applied; while under the name of Semeiology it especially treats of the symptoms of diseased action which each organ or region of the body is capable of manifesting. It is the province of Diagnosis to com bine together these various lessons, and by the application of the symptomatology of disease in general to any particular case, to arrive at a just conclusion regarding its true nature and pathology.

Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
