       Diagnosis is the essential first step in the provision of health care. A patient presents to a health care provider for a routine evaluation or with a specific complaint requiring attention. The provider will review the health history, ask pertinent questions about the history and symptoms, and then examine the patient. This will be followed by the use of other diagnostic procedures and tests, which can include radiographic studies and analysis of biologic fluids and tissue samples. Arriving at the correct diagnosis allows for selection of appropriate treatment, with minimal time delay. Health care providers must continually seek to improve their diagnostic acumen.
