Focused history and physical examination

In emergency medicine, a combination of appropriate questions (i.e., sample, History, and OPQRST) and physical examination directed to the specific body system (i.e., cardiopulmonary, neurological, musculoskeletal) that an EMS provider suspects may be causing a patient’s presenting problem. The assessment is conducted after the initial assessment has been completed and differs for medical or trauma patients.
