Good Morning,
I have a question regarding a question I came across in a test question for the CRC....
Which of the following is "TRUE" regarding the past, family and social histories?
1. PFSH contains information regarding a patient's chronic conditions.
2. PFSH includes information regarding the patient's history that may put him/her at risk for certain conditions
3. PFSH should not be used for supporting documentation for diagnosis codes.
I felt the correct answer was 2.
The correct answer was 1 and 2.
My question is my understanding is that chronic conditions may live in a problem list (meaning active). The problem list is not part of the PFSH. If a condition is listed under the PMH, my understanding is that it is "in the past and not currently active, hence "history of" and therefore no currently active chronic conditions should be present.
Can someone please clarify this scenario.
Thanks!! Most appreciative!!
