Wiki Itching in HPI

[Stephanie.Silva]

Good Morning! If the patient's chief complaint is an "itchy rash on back and lower legs", could itchy be counted as quality for HPI?

Yes, it's describing the rash. Quality is any characteristic of the problem, often, adjectives the patient uses to describe the problem.
