Diagnosis: Not the End, but the Beginning of Practice
The healthcare and diagnostics sector of India is growing exponentially with the advent of newer technologies and hype around quality-care among patients. Rather being treatment-driven today it seeks for steps to prevent. Diagnosis can be spelled as the process of identifying a disease, condition, or injury from its signs and symptoms. In a broader view, diagnosis is the endpoint of a complex process centered on a patient, collaborating with both the patient and other sources of clinical information to reason backward as to the potential health issue causing the patient's current condition. A health history, physical exam, and tests, such as blood tests, imaging tests, and biopsies all together can further contribute towards an accurate diagnosis. Also, Communication among health care professionals, the patient, and the patient's family members is critical in order to gather information, integration, and interpretation.
