Popis: The physician-patient encounter is time-constrained, and there may be little time to ask questions and identify problem areas in patients. Persons who experience aches, pains and other symptoms are sometimes confused in their crisis. The health barometer is a diagnostic aid that shows which areas to emphasize in the explorative conversation with patients. It is easy to use and it reflects the general, emotional, mental and social health of the patient when tested against the SF-36 health survey.
