Description of Health Service Encounter

(Author: Brent Jones – April 12th, 2005)

TB First Assessment (10.1.1) Storyboard: TB (10.1)

John Cardinal, Linda Lambert’s nephew, is living with the Lambert while going to university. He is from a First Nation’s Reservation in another province. Over the last couple of weeks he has developed a cough with intermittent fevers. He goes to see a family physician, Dr. Gold, for the first time at the university’s health services.

When he arrives at the clinic, John stops first at the registration desk where the receptionist records demographic information about him. She searches for records on him and is returned three John Cardinals. She is able to determine which of these the correct record is for him. The receptionist creates a record of John’s visit in the clinic’s ADT system.

Dr. Gold assesses John. There is very little to find on exam and he feels the diagnosis is a viral upper respiratory tract infection. He prescribes symptomatic treatment and makes a record of the encounter in the EMR.
