The HP: History and Physical is the most formal and complete assessment of the patient and the problem. HP is shorthand for the formal document that physicians produce through the interview with the patient, the physical exam, and the summary of the testing either obtained or pending.
The HPI should be written in prose with full sentences and be a narrative that builds an argument for the reason the patient was admitted. ​ Has a starting point (i.e. the patient was in her usual state of health until 5 days prior to admission.). ​ Has appropriate flow, continuity, sequence, and chronologic order.
HPI notes are often used to inform emergency and admission notes so they must be able to give a complete picture of the patients situation in a few short sentences. Example: Sudden onset of sharp chest pain, radiating to the left arm and jaw. Continuous for 2 hours and no relief with rest or antacids.
The history should be described in chronological order. Past Medical History (PMH): Whereas the HPI is recorded in paragraph form, it is important to keep the PMH in list form, and brief. Within each category, information should be in chronological order.
