Diagnostic assessment is a crucial step in healthcare that involves the evaluation and identification of a patient’s medical condition or disease. It is aimed at determining the underlying cause of symptoms and providing a clear diagnosis, which then guides the subsequent treatment approach. In conjunction with diagnostic assessment, pharmacological management plays a pivotal role in the treatment and control of various health conditions.

Diagnostic assessment involves a thorough examination of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and often includes additional tests such as laboratory tests, imaging studies, or biopsies. These assessments help healthcare professionals to gather essential information about the patient’s health, enabling them to make accurate diagnoses. Diagnostic assessments are conducted by various healthcare practitioners, including physicians, specialists, and diagnosticians, depending on the nature of the condition.
