We use the code for Health Risk Analysis/Assessment. This is a questionnaire requiring specific data. A nurse gets the patient height, weight and vitals. An example of the info requested is, smoker, current, past, how long, how much, race, family history questions etc... This information is then entered into the data base (Systoc) and a report is generated pinpointing certain health risks based on the information provided.
