  • Key Concepts: Presenting complaint is a term used in the IS-CHN Collaborative Health Network to refer to the patient's primary reason for seeking medical care. It is the symptom or condition that the patient is most concerned about and is usually the first thing they mention when they visit a healthcare provider.
    How to use it: When a patient visits a healthcare provider, the provider should ask the patient to describe their presenting complaint. This information should be documented in the patient's medical record and used to guide further assessment and treatment.
