letter

Dear dr. Joko Pranata

ANYTOWN FACILITY is pleased to announce its recent acquistion of the ultra premiun
ACUSON Sequoia™ C512 echocRDIOGRAPHY SYSTEM FOR OUR Cardiology
Department.
The Sequoia C512 system will provide us with maximized diagnostic information and
increased exam efficiency through significantly advanced acoustic imaging. Using
proprietary transmit and receive ultrasound technology, Siemens has elevated the
perfornabce of the Sequoia ultrasound platform by combining new system architecture and
transducer technologies. As a result, we have a better instrument to evaluate all of our
patients with.
Our Sequoia system supports all routine applications for adults, pediatric and neonatal cardiology as well as
cardiovascular imaging. Additionally, we are able to perform a breadth of imaging capabilities imcluding
transthoracic, transesophageal, stress echo, intracardiac, intraoperative and 3D cardiography, as well as routine and
investigational contras agent imaging, vascular and abdominal imaging
And, with the new syngo® Arterial Health Package. We can evaluate cardiac risk factors and quantify cardiovascular
age with automatedintima-media thickness measurements. Additionally, the new mitral valve assessment applications
allows for a rappid 3D/4D evalution of mitral valve morphology and pathology.
Finally, with the DIMAQ™ integrated ultrasound workstation completely embeded into the platform’s architecture,
we can digitally capture a complete patient study, including demographics, statis images, dynamic clips,
measurements and calculations, and then store in the native DICOM file format for instant access and review on the
system
We invite you to contact us at 000.000.0000 (contact phone) with any questions you might have regarding our new
imaging capabilities with the Sequoia C512 system. In addition, we welcome an opportunity to personally
demonstrate the system’s diagnostic imaging capabilities for you.

Answer To Practice: Discussion
1. Procedure steps:
• Step 01
Introduce yourself, identify your patient and gain consent to speak with them. Should you wish to take notes as you
proceed, ask the patients permission to do so.
• Step 02 - Presenting Complaint (PC)
This is what the patient tells you is wrong, for example: chest pain.
• Step 03 - History of Presenting Complaint (HPC)
Gain as much information you can about the specific complaint.
Sticking with chest pain as an example you should ask:
Site: Where exactly is the pain?
Onset: When did it start, was it constant/intermittent, gradual/ sudden?
Character: What is the pain like e.g. sharp, burning, tight?
Radiation: Does it radiate/move anywhere?
Associations: Is there anything else associated with the pain, e.g. sweating, vomiting.
Time course: Does it follow any time pattern, how long did it last?
Exacerbating / relieving factors: Does anything make it better or worse?
Severity: How severe is the pain, consider using the 1-10 scale?
• Step 04 - Past Medical History (PMH)
Gather information about a patients other medical problems (if any).
• Step 05 - Drug History (DH)
Find out what medications the patient is taking, including dosage and how often they are taking them,
for example: once-a-day, twice-a-day, etc.
At this point it is a good idea to find out if the patient has any allergies.
• Step 06 - Family History (FH)
Gather some information about the patients family history, e.g diabetes or cardiac history. Find out if
there are any genetic conditions within the family, for example: polycystic kidney disease.
• Step 07 - Social History (SH)
This is the opportunity to find out a bit more about the patient’s background. Remember to ask about
smoking and alcohol. Depending on the PC it may also be pertinent to find out whether the patient
drives, e.g. following an MI patient cannot drive for one month. You should also ask the patient if they
use any illegal substances, for example: cannabis, cocaine, etc. Also find out who lives with the patient.
You may find that they are the carer for an elderly parent or a child and your duty would be to ensure
that they are not neglected should your patient be admitted/remain in hospital.
• Step 08 - Review of Systems (ROS)
Gather a short amount of information regarding the other systems in the body that are not covered in your HPC.
The above example involves the CVS so you would focus on the others.
These are the main systems you should cover:
• CVS
• Respiratory
• GI
• Neurology
• Genitourinary/renal
• Musculoskeletal
• Psychiatry
• Step 09 - Summary of History
Complete your history by reviewing what the patient has told you. Repeat back the important points so that the
patient can correct you if there are any misunderstandings or errors.
You should also address what the patient thinks is wrong with them and what they are expecting/hoping for
from the consultation. A useful acronym for this is ICE [I]deas, [C]oncerns and [E]xpectations.
• Step 10 - Patient Questions / Feedback
During or after taking their history, the patient may have questions that they want to ask you. It is very
important that you don’t give them any false information. As such, unless you are absolutely sure of the
answer it is best to say that you will ask your seniors about this or that you will go away and get them
more information (e.g. leaflets) about what they are asking. These questions aren’t necessarily there to
test your knowledge, just that you won’t try and 'blag it'.
• Step 11
When you are happy that you have all of the information you require, and the patient has asked any
questions that they may have, you must thank them for their time and say that one of the doctors looking
after them will be coming to see them soon.

2. In every hospital, they had a different procedure, but sometimes the form for patient history had in
common
3. The hospital must do in taking patient history is to have a doctor with good consultation skills, a room
layout to allow good eye contact, and open-ended questions.
