* Key: CC = Chief complaint; HPI-History of Present Illness. With pain and many symptoms- an approach that is helpful is OPQRST: Symptom analysis- Onset, Provocation/Palliation, Quality, Region/Radiation, Severity, Timing (history). Be sure to give the “story of the symptom or complaint. However, simply listing each of these will not always tell the complete story of the HPI. Step back, read what you wrote and make sure it is clear and complete.
