In the EMR under Family History is "Oral Cancer". It does not specify who in the family. Do I give credit for family history? I know it may be nit-picky but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

thanks!
 
My opinion is, yes, give credit. The provider took the time to ask and the field is documented with the information. There is no requirement as to who in the family had the cancer, or even what type.
