   1. The HPI is a concise, clear, and chronologic description of the problems prompting the patient’s visit, including the onset of the problem, the setting in which it developed, its manifestations, and any treatments to date. The HPI in its most basic form is the story of the patient’s problem. It should reveal the patient’s responses to his or her symptoms and what effect the illness has had on the patient’s life. Always remember, the information flows spontaneously from the patient, but the task of oral and written organization is yours. Reflect on how well you constructed the HPI for this patient encounter and rate your performance using the following rating scale (0=unacceptable, 1=needs improvement, 2=average, 3=effective, 4=exceptional performer). Explain your rationale for the rating and identify at least ONE evidence-based strategy to improve your performance in the next virtual patient encounter.
8. Click ”Submit” once the case is complete. Download the iHuman Performance Report.
