An explanation of how the patient's current ailment developed. The HPI often provides a chronological account of how the patient's current illness developed from its initial signs and symptoms to the present. The following components, in some combination, should be present:

• Location: What is the location of the pain?

• Quality: Include a description of the quality of the symptom (i.e.  sharp pain)

• Severity: The degree of pain for example can be described on a scale of 1 - 10

• Duration: How long have you had the pain

• Timing:  Describe when you have pain for example pain with exertion or pain in the evening

• Context: What is the patient doing when the pain begins

• Modifying Factors: What makes the pain better or worse for example aspirin helps

• Associated Signs and Symptoms: Physicians based on assessment may ask about other sensations or feelings for example – do you experience pain while exercising

Two Levels of HPI:

• Brief HPI: Requires one to three HPI elements (see above list)

• Extended HPI: Requires four HPI elements or the status of three chronic problems (see 1997 guidelines for the status of chronic conditions)
