I was re-reading through some threads and also other web sites, and want to know what others think.
Pertinent to the HPI, when a medication is only stated and doesn't mention whether it makes the problem better, worse, stable, etc. Would you count the med as a modifying factor?
i.e. pt here f/u hypothyroidism, diagnosed in 2005. c/o increasing appetite, on Tapazole 40 mg.
I have read where some people say if it doesn't state what the med does, it would fall under current meds, not HPI.
Opinions?!
