Episode notes
Organized Interviewing
- Organize interviews using established psychiatric categories like identifying information, chief complaint, and history of presenting illness.
- Mastering these categories helps in formulating patient understanding and sets you up for success.
Eliciting Salient Information
- Start with open-ended questions to let patients share their stories, like "Can you help me understand what brought you here today?".
- Observe their responses, including struggles, to gain clues about their condition and who they are.
HPI Approach
- Summarize the HPI like a movie to identify missing details in the timeline or stressor information.
- Allow patients ample time to answer open-ended questions without interruption for richer insights.
